Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?

Once they have a willing victim locked they move fast. After that they relax back into their usual self important, imperious, demanding self. The honeymoon phase lasts three months with these creatures.

They need a service provider! They need a cook, cleaner and sex object into which they can relieve themselves. Plus love bombing is a bit of a pain. It takes energy and constant self checking to keep up the nice guy front.

My advice: enjoy the three month ride then move along.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?
