5 Undeniable Proof a Narcissist Regrets Losing You Even If They Hide It -

What do you think happens in a narcissist’s head when you leave them or when they are done using you? Most people believe they just move on to the next person and never think about you again. That is absolutely not the case. In reality, they become more obsessed with you than ever; they just make sure you cannot see it. How do I know? From countless conversations I have had with narcissists during what I call accidental sessions, listening to how they obsessively bring up their exes long after the relationship has ended.

When a narcissist discards you, you may think they have erased you from their life. You may think they have truly moved on. But the truth is, they carry you in their mind far more than they would ever dare to admit. And it’s not about losing you as a person; they care about losing the utility you brought into their life. The regret is disguised in the smallest, strangest behaviors that we are going to talk about today.

Sign 1: Comparing New Partners to You

The first sign is that they compare their new partner to you every day, quietly resenting the fact that they have been duped by their own choice. One of the clearest yet most hidden signs is how they silently measure their new partner against you. They will not admit it to anyone, but deep down, they feel tricked. When they moved on, they expected someone better, someone easier, someone who would make them feel even more powerful. But reality rarely delivers that fantasy. In private, they may notice small things their new partner does not do the way you did. It could be the way you handled a crisis, the way you made decisions, or the way you made them feel important. Now they are stuck with someone who cannot fill those gaps. This creates a kind of resentment that eats at them, but instead of owning it, they bury it under constant comparison. The irony is they once made you feel you were never enough. But when you are gone and they realize they cannot recreate what you gave them, you suddenly become the standard against which they measure others. And every day, their new partner falls short. Their regret grows even if they would rather choke than say it out loud.
