Normal, healthy relationships just aren't like this. They can seem... boring in comparison. Does this not help to explain why victims can become confused, and stay in unstable relationships too long? Or why a victim who is seduced by a narcissist might find it dull and difficult to remain faithful to their spouse? The good times can, especially at first, be intense. It makes victims confuse love, truthfulness and honesty with beautiful emotional firework-displays. It can also confuse other people around them as well, since many narcissists like making these displays of affection in public.
