Why do Narcissists make their Partners Jealous?

Narcissistic people tend to try to make their partners jealous, known as induced jealousy. In this video Darren Magee outline the nature of narcissism and discusses the five motives behind the behaviour including wanting to control and dominate, wanting revenge, testing the relationship, seeking security and compensating for low self esteem.
'Do narcissists try to make romantic partners jealous on purpose? An examination of motives for deliberate jealousy-induction among subtypes of narcissism.' - Tortoriello, GK, Hart, W, Richardson, K, & Tullett, AM.(2017).

    My soon to be ex-husband did this. I was very much aware that he was telling me about how beautiful his tenant’s hair was and complimenting her in front of me and her husband because he wanted me to feel badly about myself and jealous. I just did not understand why he was behaving that way because I did not know what narcissism was at that point. He would also compare me to his cousin’s wife and tell me that she was bohemian and did not care about dressing up. I understood that was a dig against me and when I asked him plainly if he was referring to me, he had a kind of guilty look but said nothing. This all happened in the weeks and months after we got married. These people are monsters.

  • @eponymoususer8923

    Another side to triangulation: Narcissist: “My ex was so evil and is threatening to me.” Target: “Oh no! I’ll protect and SAVE you!” When in reality, the ex is no-contact with the narcissist due to fear and self-preservation. It’s not envy-jealousy, but it has the same flavor. This tactic helps the Narcissist feel in control and gives supply, and soothes a Borderline’s abandonment fears, and also creates allegiance with the target. The target feels valuable, and like they’re “in it together”. This is a tragic, malevolent manipulation.

    Aren't they themselves constantly jealous? It's an emotion they're very familiar with, and it has wreaked havoc on their psyche, so naturally they're going to work overtime to induce it in someone else. It's all they know. We're talking about the fantastically immature and emotionally impoverished here. You can't expect a homeless person to give you a million dollars, and you can't expect to have a normal relationship with a narcissist. They don't have it in them.

    Lisa Rochwarg That's exactly right and I clearly saw while the last highly narcissistic man I got caught up was staying at my place that he didn't have anything to give, which wasn't evident when I first met him. I realised that being with him was a waste of my precious time and it was pointless expecting him to be there for me, let alone love me, hence why I told him that he had to leave my home. Mind you, he'd admitted that he was only using me and was going to leave again anyway. He was an extremely abusive person as well, so he was lucky that I was even talking to him, after what he'd done. 🙁

    I went to a burlesque evening with my partner who I suspect is vulnerable narcissist. She engineered a situation where another man danced with her, she danced flirtatiously I got annoyed. Years later she brought it up saying I only showed attention to her when I felt threatened. Reading between the lines she felt I was not putting the effort in, in actuality I was not a confident dancer, if it was me I would have declined a dance from another dancer as I would have known it would make my partner jealous and uncomfortable. It's all about the attention and narcissistic supply, if your not jumping through hoops their ego is sooooo weak. When people act out rather than behaving reasonably be on guard.

    In my case , it was very much a tactic, used in the discard phase , she was already on her way out , I just didn’t know it then , it was part of the over all plan. The plan to induce jealousy was to get me to react , or act out , and therefore enable her to say ahha! See there you are, overreacting, unstable. Etc etc and it was ammo or evidence for her smear campaign that was yet to come …...... this is all 20/20 hindsight as I am 5 years out now ans living my best life …......

He often talks about his ex wife and tries to get me jealous, I listen and hear about himself, then he talks about an exgirlfriend, and how much she loved him, and she would have him back tomorrow if he called her, all this was said after an argument which I asked him why he didn't do it? His reply was " because I love you" PLEASE! Don't take me for an idiot. My mum heard him going on about his ex wife and asked him why he did? He replied and said I mentioned her name because she used to know the person you are talking about. I don't very often get jealous especially when people try it. I just tell them that if they want to leave go! I will never stop them because it's their choice!!!

    This video was so good, I had to watch it again. This behavior is so sabotaging, I simply don't understand why the Narc would do this - it's as if they don't understand they're undermining the very thing they are trying to preserve. Most ppl who are interested in someone else, will pursue in secret, not out in the open with everyone watching or listening to them talk nonstop about how attractive someone else it, which definitely shows that it's all for show and all to make you jealous. This just happened to my 12 y/o daughter with a boy in her class who she was more than friends with.... who just previous got insanely jealous about another boy being interested in her. It's all very sad. She was into him and wanted things to work out. She finally had to break things off because the blatant jealousy inducement was simply too much for her. I only hope that she will not think this is normal behavior and she will have a normal relationship one day.

    That moment, when my son stopped caring, he returned to his animal base for that one split secong and committed an act of horrible irreversible cruelty against his own flesh and blood newborn child. 15-life. Likely more. Just a little life lesson for everyone involved . I hope.

    My ex was telling me stories about how other people were making stories about them being manipulative. And I was not able to think at all that this behaviour was part of the abuse and the gaslighting.. I am still though very hurt from the relationsip (it was very long, about 6 years, and it ended last month) by texting me that there were already feeling for another person. So, I would like to ask you if you have any good advice/recommendation how to heal from such an abusive relationship, where the other person has invested a loooot on them.. Thanks a lot!

    I don't have a jealous bone in my body. I called out the abuse. No jealousy at all. I have to laugh at my ex who stated I was jealous of his exes. Rufkm? Bring your sick behavior in front of thr pastor and see if what you had been doing behind my back was jealousy. What's really sick is he wanted me to call him "My man". What man would that be? The lying, cheating, mentally abusive so-called christian who held my hand in church while he was on porn and dating websites? My man? No, no man there. Just an evil, sick, soulless empty shell of nothingness. 😂

    Marcia don't blame yourself, you don't know for sure. I think that's only true if a parent was super extremely spoiling the child. They say this or that the child was neglected and not loved. Well both wasn't the case in our family. But the son I'm talking about has a different father. I only new him for 4 months and then got pregnant. That's why he broke up with me. That was great but I didn't know that at the time. When I was 33 and my boy 3 years old, I met my todays husband. HE was a great dad for my son!! We got 2 more kids and then my son changed. I thought he's just jealous. But that was the beginning of him becoming a narcissist. I'm wondering now if it could be generic. I didn't know his biological father well enough and only for a short time. We do not believe that WE created that!! My other 2 kids are wonderful people. It's heart breaking for me that my son is a narcissist. The whole family suffered. But we can't change it. So do not blame yourself Marcia! All the best. 🍀🍀🍀

    Every now and then my vulnerable narc will drop little nuggets of truth. When I broke up with mine (tried very hard to end it amicably), she was already seeing new supply and was already living with the dude. A year later she would admit that she was hoping that I would actually stalk her at her new bf's apartment because she knows I have jealousy issues. Not only did I not do that because that's lame af, but it's also a very psychotic thing to say to someone. She really wanted me to become the bad guy in the end, and even started accusing me of using her for sex the moment she started seeing sleeping with this new guy. We only started speaking again because she wouldn't leave me alone when I wanted to go no contact.

    We were both widow and widower when we met in our retired ages. He, early on made such a fool of himself trying this game of overt flirting, embarrassing his 'target' and making a fool of himself to me and one lady or another's husband. Me, I was annoyed because it is so disrespectful to play that game 1) in front of me and spouses and 2) if I'm not enough, then why hang around? He didn't expect that and stopped...but not because I was too confident for him but because I pointed out how he was impressing no one at his age but was looking very foolish. At the time he was pushing 73.

    I have been on the receiving end of this manipulation. For every helpful gesture or kindness, there is a takeback. For example: Last week, my ex boyfriend decided he was going to treat me (despite my refusal) to a shrimp supper via takeout. He delivered it to my front door and was leaving. When I spoke to him, it was obvious he was drunk. To many protests, I drove him home. (For everyone's safety). So any 'niceness' was entirely overshadowed by the repulsive drunk driving. He managed to debase me yet again! I have warned him to stay away from me, or I will take legal action. This pattern of binge drinking followed just about every sweet thing he did for me, and led to him being pushed right out of my life.

    Does it come up after you set a boundary? My partner was so cruel and unkind to me last week, and hung up on me for a trivial reason. I actually stood up for myself, quite strongly. He disappeared. When we spoke a week later he told me about one of his clients he gets on really well with, who has invited him for christmas drinks and mince pies at her house, that she says he has 'so many strings to his bow' and sees him as some kind of 'super hero' (his words), although she is married. Meanwhile, he'd said I was 'disgusting' because of some sound I made when I ate a single pretzel, even though I tried my best to eat it quietly, knowing how things trigger him and he gets annoyed.

    I'm not jealous of his other women they are trash all of them, they aren't worth competing with for him because he was never worth having in the first place, if a woman could have him on his selfish conditions and terms NO woman in her right mind would ever want him! When he told me 4 days after learning about the death of my only child, that "He died, you didn't" and if you don't want to give it to me i have options that was the last straw! I catch him in lies with actual proof of his to show him and he lies, he denies it and calls me a liar, he bends over backwards and turns himself inside out for the people he likes that are on his priority list and can't do enough for the losers in his life that he values and that are important and special to him. The only way to beat those evil monsters is to collect evidence of everything they have put you through and expose them to everyone for who they really are. Because they are very well aware of how they mentally and psychologically abuse you while they devalue you they lie to their flying monkeys about how horribly you treat them. Even a narcissist cares about their reputation with the important people who matter to them.

What you said it’s non sense, narcissist have other relationships but they always denied. The don’t want you to get jealous, they only think about themselves they don’t care about you or anybody else . It’s about them.
