To bring it all together, when a narcissist regrets losing you, they will never say it directly. Admitting regret would mean admitting fault, vulnerability, and, guess what? A total loss of control. Those are things their fragile ego cannot handle. So instead, the regret seeps out through actions that look strange or petty on the surface but carry a much deeper meaning when you understand the dark psychology behind them. Every comparison they make, every rumor they spread, every calculated post, every manipulation of your children, and every sudden appearance is part of the same pattern. It is their way of staying tethered to you without openly admitting that you mattered more than they wanted you to believe.
But here’s the thing: once you can see these signs for what they are, they lose their power. You can recognize them as the desperate attempts they really are—not as proof of your worth or your failure. And when you stop giving them the reaction they are fishing for, what do you do? You reclaim the very control they’re trying to claw back from you.
