Do Narcissists Recognize The Good Times in Relationships?

Sure they do, but not in the way you think.

That time they cheated on you, came back and you welcomed them with open arms, what a good time that was! They sure as shit are remembering that. They love when they can have multiple pieces of ass on the side and they have a loyal partner who “accepts” it.

How about the time they lied to you, threw a little gaslighting and projection in the mix, then you snapped your shit and lost it. Then what came after that was your reactive abuse.

After the reactive abuse kicked in your “rational” mind became present again. It’s here where the guilt creeps in and YOU apologize. I mean, what the fuck? Wasn’t that a good time? Wasn’t that fun! They sure thought it was!

The possibly they cheat again, wait, let’s not bullshit ourselves, of course they will cheat again! But this time it was with your best friend. But they didn’t mean it! They will never do it again. Will you forgive them again? You sure as hell will! They remember that too!

They don’t know what’s wrong with them! But you give them another chance. Yep, you guessed it, They are having a fucking blast now! They are beside themselves with joy at this moment.
