Reason #07: Seeking Validation
Narcissists rely heavily on external validation to feel good about themselves. After a breakup, they might return to former partners to reclaim that validation, seeking reassurance that they are still desirable and valued.
Reason #06: Loneliness and Isolation
Breakups can leave narcissists feeling isolated and lonely. They may return to their ex-partners as a way to combat these feelings, believing that rekindling an old relationship will fill the void left by the breakup.
Reason #05: Financial Considerations
In some cases, financial dependency can play a role in a narcissist’s return. If the relationship involved financial abuse or dependency, the narcissist might seek to return to regain access to resources or support, even if the emotional bond has deteriorated.
