1. They will try to get you back
They are likely to try and get in touch with you somehow, with tons of manipulation, tons of I’m sorry, and tons of all do better. You must remember, the narcissist has an addiction to you as well. If you are breaking it off with a narcissist and you are taking the narcissistic supply away from them that you provide, that can feel agonizing to the narcissist. Therefore, they may try and manipulate you and gaslight you into believing that they are truly sorry and that they will change.
However, this is just a manipulation, it’s not true. And on top of that, if you decide to believe them and take them back, then the trauma bond you have to this person is going to get stronger and the abuse will likely get more frequent and more intense than before because they know they have successfully manipulated you into taking them back.
2. Stalking you
If they cannot get a hold of you, and if their attempts to reconnect with you fail, they may very well start stalking you. They will typically believe that you must be cheating, and they want to find out exactly what’s going on. The reason they will believe that you are cheating is because they likely have been cheating, or they know the only way they would discard you is if they had another source of narcissistic supply lined up. Therefore, they project their terrible character traits onto you, and many times, this results in them becoming angry and that begins a stalking spree.
