Reason 5: Fear of Intimacy
Narcissists often fear vulnerability and intimacy. To avoid being emotionally exposed, they create distance in relationships, sometimes through infidelity, as a means of maintaining control.
Reason 6: Inability to Take Responsibility
Accountability is a scarce commodity in the narcissist’s toolkit. Shifting blame becomes a defense mechanism, making it easier for them to engage in infidelity without acknowledging the impact on their partner.
Reason 7: Continuous Need for Admiration
The relentless pursuit of admiration is a core trait of narcissism. When existing sources become mundane, narcissists may seek new avenues, leading to the betrayal of their partner’s trust.
