Why do narcissists want to hurt your feelings, even after they discard you?

Great question. When my ex threatened to divorce me (he did this for most of my 6–7 year marriage) I finally told him, “If that’s what you want, go ahead.” He started moving so fast to get rid of me, pay off the alimony, and everything else. It was like he couldn’t get rid of me fast enough. I think once they set their eyes on the next new shiny object, you must have to be assimilated. Dr. Sam Vaknin speaks about how they must individuate from you and you must basically “die.”
