**Narcissists have no intention of repairing your relationship after they have hurt you.** They will say anything to trick you into another round of their sick game, but they will never make amends and they will never change. Apologies, when they come, are usually shallow, manipulative, or designed to pull you back under their control. They may say the right words, but their actions consistently prove otherwise. Instead of genuine remorse, what you see is deflection, blame-shifting, or turning the situation around so that you end up feeling guilty for even pointing out their behavior.
It’s important to understand that narcissists view relationships less as connections based on mutual respect and more as opportunities for control, validation, and supply. When they sense they are losing that control, they might suddenly act sweet, apologetic, or affectionate. This is not because they want true reconciliation—it is because they want to keep you hooked, confused, and emotionally dependent. Their goal is not peace but power.
Over time, this cycle becomes painfully predictable: harm, denial, fake apology, temporary “honeymoon” phase, and then harm again. If you stay, you may find yourself clinging to those short-lived moments of kindness, hoping they are signs of real change. But unfortunately, those moments are carefully crafted illusions, designed to reset the cycle and keep you from walking away.
The truth is, you will never receive the closure you are hoping for from a narcissist. They do not self-reflect, take accountability, or prioritize healing in the way healthy individuals do. Waiting for them to change only drains your energy and prolongs your pain. Instead, the real path forward lies in recognizing the pattern, detaching emotionally, and reclaiming your power.
Your healing will come not from their words or false promises, but from setting firm boundaries, refusing to be manipulated, and investing your time and love into people who truly value you. Narcissists don’t repair relationships—they recycle them. Once you understand this, you free yourself from the endless loop of false hope and disappointment.
