Will I Hurt My Narcissist if I Cheat on Him?

    Cheating - even with the same man - with no intent to exit the shared fantasy does not provoke romantic jealousy.
    Actually, cheating with the same man preserves the idealized version of the woman, while casual, sluttish sex challenges or destroys it.
    So, the narcissist prefers the former: if she has a stable, long-term, intimate lover or if she has sex with someone she has known for along time - but only someone who does not threaten the shared fantasy with him.
    The shared fantasy demands presence and availability. If the narcissist is busy (not available) or absent, the woman is free to do as she wishes (object inconstancy). But if he is available and present, she should be all his, exclusively. If she then spends time with other men, he perceives it as a rejection of the shared fantasy and it provokes abandonment anxiety and romantic jealousy.
    Cheating which challenges or destroys her idealized version (drunk one night stand) and is intended to facilitate an exit from the shared fantasy (prefers to spend time with other men) provokes extreme romantic jealousy focused on both the sex and the intimacy with the other man (=the substitute shared fantasy).
    Cheating that is intended to mortify leads to a breakup without romantic jealousy.
    The narcissist doesn’t have sex (except sadistic despoiling) or real intimacy with his woman, so he does not mind if she has both with other men. He has a shared fantasy with an idealized version of his woman, so he feels excruciating hurt and intense romantic jealousy ONLY when the woman replaces the shared fantasy she has with him with a shared fantasy (=intimacy) with another man and, in the process, as she exits the shared fantasy she had with him, destroys the idealized version that I am interacting with.

      @@maryannslatteryburrows7228 That is EXACTLY how I describe my so called " marriage" of thankfully the past.
      No one understand why the hell I say that. It's nice to see some other people who not only get it but totally put it in CORRECT terms.
      If I could have succeeded in it, I would have had it annulled as it should have been!
      A con job done by an imposter, is what it essentially was!
      He actually "tried it" 👀with me, and then had the nerve get resentful (to put it very very mildly) on me when I told him this stops here!
      How dare I...
      He tried everything to keep the upper hand in his con job. He even asked me if I had slept with other men thus cheated on him (I had already achieved legal separation but by law I had to wait for two years here in Europe ) he had his hands behind his back. I answered him no, and even if I were, we are separated and he needs to gtfo my life already.
      He started to INSIST that I was....this idiocy went back and forth until he had nothing left to argue about.
      He finally said "ok" turned to leave but didn't turn all the way, but just enough that I saw the head of a hammer sticking out behind his back. He later boasted that he was going to use that to kill me right then and there, had I said "yes". I'm guessing his plan afterwards was to then just plead "insanity" as that did seem to be the storyline he was gradually building up for himself.
      The thing is, I actually wish I had been seeing someone else by then.but I probably would have just landed another narcissist anyway...
      Having to deal with them is a rigged game you can't win. Or so they desperately want you to believe. Their tenacity to "win" the upper hand no matter what it brings them, will send them into tyrannical rages you can't believe.

    "The narcissist doesn’t make love to his intimate partner, the narcissist dismantles her, like a toy. He treats her like a toy, he breaks her apart to see what’s inside. He despoils her, he degrades her, he humiliates her. He gets off, he is aroused by breaking his intimate partner, disintegrating her, dismantling her. It’s not sex. It’s not sex by any definition." Thank you for your words about that act of "sex."

    Cheating aside... can you undermine the shared fantasy by refusing to "remain friends" after he decides to entertain another female? (This was a command made by him to me. "You will be my friend." ) He demanded I be "cordial with him" and I refused... neither was I nasty. Just indifferent. This was extremly difficult for me. I walked away from every think he expected me to participate in.
    Does actively ignoring him in close social circles and never acknowledging his existance even when in his presence, while giving all my energy to anyone else in the room cause mortification enough to retraumatise him? Does this cause him to "grow up" like promiscuous cheating would have?
    This is a communal narcissist.
    He was not able to slander me to our community. He could not erase me, but he can no longer engage me I will not allow it.
    Our mutual friends were told I would happily tolerate him if he came to me and apologized told me why what he did was wrong. I know he is not capable of this.
    I thought that the only way I could truly help him is if I was the only one in his life to not give him what he demands, and push his nose in his bad business.
    The only way to help myself was to refuse to accept him if he came to me like a snake.

    I don't understand. My husband is the one who cheated on me for years. I found out last year and it was devastating. He became clingy and was scared I would cheat on him. But yet, while I was devastated, depressed in bed when I first found out, he was at work flirting and wanting to have sex with 2 women at his work, he talked about me, laughed at me with those women and called me crazy. Then came home with flowers pretending to be sorry for his cheating ( that I had just learned about) and concerned about my broken heart, thinking I didn't know what he had been doing at work that day. I couldn't believe he was acting like that when he had ripped out my heart by cheating for years.
    Maybe he's different because he's also threatened to kill me. He also goes through phases of treating me like his enemy and is out to get me.

    I cheated on my narc.
    I didn't actually cheat all the way but I went online and talked to a few women and discussed meeting up. I could have met them but I didn't go through with it because some part of me didn't want to.
    This was after 8 months of abusive behaviour from her. I didn't even know she was a narc at that point. But when she found out, all hell broke loose. She was ANGRY like I've never seen anyone raging before. She slapped me across my face.
    She decided to break up with me immediately. At the time I was feeling guilty so I tried to make it up to her. She came back but then there was a 2.5 month period of back and forth. Some days she would act like we were together and started discussing the future, but then suddenly decided to ghost me. It was pure torture for me until I came across Sam's videos. Only after watching hours and hours of his videos did I finally realize the true nature of my ex. I still feel guilty about my action but I realized I did it subconsciously to revolt against the abuse. I have trouble expressing my feelings in a relationship and every time I tried to tell her she was being abusive she would dismiss it.
    Even now after everything is out in the open, she refuses to even apologize for hitting me. She actually blamed me for her abuse by telling me "When will you take responsibility for what you did to me during the relationship? You didn't fulfill my needs so I REACTED to it." Basically, she thinks I deserved to be yelled at, cursed and pushed around physically because I didn't treat her special THE WAY SHE DESERVED TO BE TREATED.
    My entire last year has been so surreal. I'm still struggling to make sense of it. I have trauma from the relationship and I still find it difficult to let it go because of the mindfuck I went through.

He wanted me to be like his mom, cooked, cleaned, take care of the kids, MAKE SURE FOOD ON THE TABLE 2X A DAY! etc etc... Two weeks ago I caught him cheating for the 3rd time (Like I said could be more but I just have proof 3 times). He didn't denied it, of curse NOR WILL HE GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION SUCH AS HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON, HOW OLD IS SHE, WHERE DID YOU MEET HER ETC ETC.. NOTHING! HE REFUSES TO DISCLOSE ANY INFO ABOUT HER AND HIS AFFAIRS! He said he doesn't want to hurt me any more and if he tells me.. WHAT A FKIN COWARD!
    I WANT ANSWERS!!
    WTF is wrong w/ me! I know it's co-dependence, low self esteem after 20 years of loveless marriage. I feel very alone these 20 years! I have been deprived and denied of love, intimacy and affection for almost 2 decades Yet why can't I divorce his sorry arse? Am I asking for gluttony for punishment? What will it take for me to leave a narcissistic pathological cheating husband? Who has so empathy or compassion when he pulls his pants down or intentionally looking for a lady outside of this marriage?

My ex-narc girlfriend told me about her husband who was "cheating' on her for the past 2 years, with the same women, a work-colleague. She didn't filed for divorce until this beating-up episode, where she was the victim. She told me that she wanted to end the relationship but was waiting for a sign.... The beating came up after a verbal fighting when she called the husband: "you are not a man" - discarding/devaluation phase.

She is pretending that she has moved on and doesn't understand why people could carry out hateful for so long time.
