3. Get their partner to end it.
A third-way Narcissists like to end relationships is to manipulate their partners into ending the relationship first. This happens when the Narcissist realizes the only way they could play the victim is if the other person discarded them. So, they tend to do this by making their partners jealous. A favorite of the Narcissist is talking about their ex. Some would even spend time with the ex, if the ex were the new supply and make their partner aware of it.
The Narcissist would claim their innocence, but they are hoping that they are doing enough to make this person want to leave them. They may become more difficult to deal with, standoffish, more silent treatments but nothing solid enough to label them as the bad guy. The Narcissist is trying to drive their partner to push them away so that they don’t have to.

When you do tell them it’s over, there will be no resistance on their part because this is what they wanted. And this would mess with your head even more because the Narcissist has made it clear by their actions that they do not care, and they are not willing to work on anything they are just happy to leave.
But to conclude, when the Narcissist wants out, someone will get hurt and it is not the Narcissist. Whichever way they choose to end it, it is usually for their benefit alone. There is usually no closure or clear explanations as to what went wrong nor are they willing to take accountability. Narcissists do not care who they hurt, all they care about is fulfilling their needs and wants.
