This seems like it could be a pretty common situation and one that a person would try to avoid. I&#8217;d like to hear what you have to say about affairs with married narcissists. Thanks! Wonderful insights in your writing &#8211; irresistible subject.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> Married (and unmarried) NPD people are prone to having many affairs. The affair will last as long as you have value to him or her; be forewarned&#8211;the devaluation phase will be hurtful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They frequently discard the extramarital affair on a whim, often with no explanation. As they only care about their own needs, married or unmarried doesn\u2019t change things much for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will promise you the moon (and probably say they are going to leave their wives or husbands but chances are they will not) but deliver only heartache. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an individual is just looking for a brief, exciting affair and is fine with being dumped unceremoniously, then he or she probably has a good chance of meeting with success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All \u201crelationships\u201d with NPD individuals should be avoided, whether they are affairs or the fa\u00e7ade of something more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Reading Suggestions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a aria-label=\"Why is the Narcissist Ashamed of Sex?
