When They See You’re Doing Better … Button

Narcissists have this idea that when they break up with you, your life is going to fall to total disrepair and you are going to be miserable and alone. When they then see that you are happy and doing well, they like to stomp back into your life to prove to themselves that you still miss them and need them so that they can leave again and watch you fall to pieces the way "you should have" the first time around. It's a game for them to feel good about themselves. You are clearly better off without someone like this and should continue making positive steps towards being happy again.
