Is my narcissist ex really happy?

So my ex and I were together for 9 months and broke up almost a year ago. He cheated on me and treated me like shit most of the relationship. He was a narcissist and would gaslight me and was just so mean to me a lot of the time. I blocked his number and haven’t seen or spoken to him at all but recently I ran into his tik tok account and saw that he had a new girlfriend and they look super happy together. I don’t want him back at all he was awful to me but it made me kinda upset seeing him in a happy relationship because I just don’t think it’s fair that someone who hurt me so much gets to just be so happy now. Do you guys think he’s actually really happy now and treating her good? Or do you think he probably treats her like shit too? Not that I would want him to hurt another girl I’m just saying it feels so unfair.

He’s probably still doing the same shit and has found someone to put up with it. I put up with my narcissistic, abusive ex for YEARS before I saw things for what they were and realized I deserved so much more. We seemed very happy on social media, and even to a lot of the people around us. Thinking about it now, I’m not sure how he could ever get another girlfriend, but at the end of the day they just go and find a new girl who falls for the same shit we once did.

I think most people are happy at the start of a new relationship - you’re getting to know someone new and everything is fresh and exciting. It can take time for people to feel comfortable enough to let their guard down and show their less admirable traits. But chances are he’ll eventually treat the new girlfriend how he treated you and she’ll leave 🤷‍♀️

Easy to look happy on social media. You know who he is. He can hide it for a while, not forever.

I had a similar experience with an ex. In the end he treated her shit too and they broke up.

I would never believe a couple is really happy based on what they post to look good on society. Other than that if he’s really a narcissist, you know he needs to start treating her very well so is gonna be easy to manipulate her later on when he show his true colors, which for narcissistic people there’s no way to hide for too long. So I wouldn’t feel hurt for that if I was you, I would actually feel bad for everything this girl will go through later on their relationship.

Don’t believe everything you see on social media. A narcissistic person will always put a show to the world but it’s all fake cos closed door they are terrible

Thank you girls for all your reply’s they made me feel so much better!

Ehhh. A leopard doesn’t change its spots… I feel that about narcissists. It truly is a mental health condition in which often you need treatment. Doubt he’s truly happy.

Mate, trust me, give it time 😹 You dodged one
