This Is Why Narcissists Can't Maintain Intimate Relationships.
Narcissism is sometimes classified as physiological disorder, especially if the person really
cannot perceive the world as it is.
In a relationship, being unable to see the real world is disastrous.
Now the real question is, “Can a narcissist even fall in love?”
Of course that is a fundamental question before we talk too much into why they can’t stay
in love.
For now, let's see some explanation to answer this question.
According to Elinor Greenberg Ph.D., a psychotherapist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment
of various personality disorders, says that,
“If you (exes of narcissists) thought that your romantic Narcissistic ex really loved
you and wanted to marry you, you are not crazy.
Even though he is now gone, your guy actually meant what he said when he said it to you.
He was in love with you, or at least his own romantic fantasy of the two of you as the
perfect couple.”
The problem is, of course, that it’s impossible for the “perfect couple” fantasy to materialize.
Life isn’t a fantasy; relationships aren’t a fantasy, and narcissists can’t seem to
grasp this elementary concept.
So, yes, narcissist undoubtedly fall in love too, but why they can't remain in love?
Why they can't last in relationship?
Certainly there are so many reasons why narcissists fail to keep a relationship, and these 6 reasons
should help you to fill your curiosity.

#1 - Confused between idealism and realism.
Narcissists always think that they are good people to begin with.
They have power, they have intelligence, and they have everything.
However it is just their illusion that creates a perfect world for them.
This idealism is what makes narcissists unable to see.
#2 - Narcissists prone to abusive behavior.
A relationship with narcissist is often than not prone to emotional and even physical abuse.
Narcissists want all the attention to themselves, while love should be a compromise between
each other, with narcissist, it's constantly one sided and single power struggle.
Once they don't get what they want, the chance for narcissists to commit a physical, psychological,
or verbal abuse are higher.
#3 - Needing constant supply.
Narcissists want their existence seen and felt by other people surround them.
However, it is worth noting that their supply is from people around them.
They absorb the happiness and the confidence from other people for feeding their fantasy.
That is why they cannot be trusted for keeping love.
#4 - Captivating.
Narcissists will keep you in their power since they want to absorb your fame, intelligence,
and confidence.
They have so many tactics to ensure it happens.
Unfortunately, they only target human being that is close to them.
That is why it is not ideal for narcissists to stay in love.
#5 - They think person as island.
People come and go, but narcissists have different ideas about it.
They do not think a person as human being.
Instead, they only consider people as their stepping stone for achieving higher degree
of their fantasy.
#6 - Something more and more.
Narcissists need attention, and everything that they have done or anything that has been
done to them are always not enough.
They want total attention from the whole world, and their partners just cannot fulfill such
appetite whatsoever.
This is the start of the blame.
This is also the reason why narcissists will not stay in love too long.
They just want more and more.
Even more annoying, what they want is usually irrational and exhausting.
Well, those are the reasons why narcissists can't maintain intimate relationships.
