8. Prepare ahead of time if you choose to leave

Ending a relationship with someone who has a narcissistic personality disorder can be extremely difficult. Some people with this mental health condition may have a hard time letting you go without attempting to pull you back in repeatedly. In some cases, they may want to have the last word, roo.

Whether your partner is making you feel guilty for leaving or sowing doubt in your judgment, it’s essential to remember the reasons why you made the decision. It may also be necessary to prepare ahead of time and lay out clear reasons for leaving.

If you deal with a narcissistic partner, you may be tempted to threaten to leave. If you know you’re not going to do that, it’s better not to turn to any threat of this sort. While it can feel like an effective way to correct behavior, it may backfire.

Moreover, it may give your partner more power and reaffirm that there is no need for them to change. So, consider saying you’re leaving only when you are actually prepared to do so.

Once you’ve decided this is the best decision, it can be helpful to cut off communication entirely, as there’s a chance they’ll make attempts to draw you back to them. They may also act cruelly toward you and move on quickly from the relationship.
