The narcissist creates the image that he/she wants the world to see. He/she can only do that when the truth isn't available to the audience. If the narcissist keeps his/her life hidden then 1) he/she can lie about that life and continue grandiose delusions, or 2) avoid taking responsibility because he/she can continue shift-blaming. Moreover, perhaps addiction is a factor. If your ex uses, then secrecy is part of that addict behavior. Whatever the cause, count it as a blessing that you don't have the details, and reciprocate. Any information that the narcissist has about you will be used to manipulate you. Being open and honest is fine... with sane people. Minimal contact if necessary, and no contact if possible.
You are saying narcissist ex. If he is your ex he is not cheating on you and why would you care if he is your ex. Forget about this and move on with your life. If you think that this is cheating on you - better think again and also know that this will go on and on.
There is no such things as an ex-narcissist.
Most people go through the heartache of losing someone they love whether they are a narcissist or not. Considering your ex is a narcissist you will begin to realize how lucky you were getting away from your ex. There is someone very special out there for you and fate has a way of forcing us down different roads of life to get something better in our lives. Hang on!
Ignore him
Maybe he realizes what you really mean to him. And he wants to you back in his life
Only if you are masochistic.
You can become narcissistic afterwards, but you will not turn into a true narcissist. Stay away from him and go back to your family and hang around them for a while.
Yes, sometimes a narcissist will contact their ex after a break up because the narcissist cannot imagine their ex with anyone else as the narcissist has a complex of being the greatest at everything including relationships and is ego maniacal.
My feeling is that the ex was not too happy to hear that you had moved on. Their preferred answer would have been that - "your life has been miserable, without him!"
Yes but do so anonymously.
* No, the Narcissist can't hide what he/she is by most psychologists or psychiatrists. You may get total custody in your favor just by what the psychologist has diagnosed you're ex with, but beware .. in turn he can be evaluated by a psychologist (orders by his lawyer that his client .. your ex have an evaluation) and you could come up with a stalemate! http://personalitydisorders.suite101.com/article.cfm/narcissistpsychopath
Maybe the person that is a narcissist was trying to hide it.
