Why narcissists cheat
12 February 2023
Narcissists may cheat for a variety of reasons and their behavior is often driven by a deep sense of entitlement and a lack of empathy for others.
One reason that narcissists may cheat is that they are seeking validation and attention from others. Narcissists have a strong need for admiration and may use infidelity as a means of obtaining this validation. By engaging in extramarital affairs or other forms of cheating, narcissists may feel that they are proving their desirability and attractiveness to others.

Another reason that narcissists may cheat is that they lack a sense of emotional connection with their partners. Narcissists tend to view others as extensions of themselves, and may therefore have difficulty forming genuine emotional bonds. This can lead to a sense of boredom or dissatisfaction with their current relationships, which may prompt them to seek out new partners.
Finally, narcissists may cheat simply because they feel entitled to do so. Narcissists tend to view themselves as above the rules and norms that govern relationships, and may therefore feel that they are justified in engaging in infidelity or other forms of deceit.
While narcissists may have a variety of reasons for cheating, their behavior is ultimately driven by a deep sense of entitlement and a lack of empathy for others.
If you are in a relationship with a narcissist who has cheated or engaged in other problematic behavior, it's important to seek support from a mental health professional who can help you navigate this difficult situation and make choices that are in your best interests.
