Will there be a confession?

It’s highly unlikely. When confronted with evidence of their infidelity—whether it’s documented on paper, caught on film, or any other irrefutable proof—narcissists will typically resort to denial. They’ll deny, deny, deny, and if that doesn’t work, they’ll deflect blame onto you. You’re accused of snooping, labeled as crazy, and they bemoan the supposed invasion of their privacy. Even when caught red-handed, they’ll offer a myriad of excuses, only to later beg for forgiveness and reconciliation.

Recent statistics suggest that infidelity is not gender-specific. While 70% of men are reported to cheat on their partners, many suspect the number could be higher. Similarly, data on women’s infidelity rates varies, with some studies suggesting they cheat at comparable rates to men. The definition of cheating is often a gray area, reminiscent of the Clinton scandal—what exactly constitutes an affair?

For example, Blend, a narcissistic sex addict, formed an emotional bond with his massage therapist, showering her with gifts while concealing the sexual nature of their encounters. Confessions are rare in their minds; they simply don’t see themselves as guilty. In a conversation with Blend, he candidly explained his motivations for pursuing extramarital affairs. To him, it’s all about the “thrill of the chase —the excitement, the game” (his exact words). He revels in the pursuit, enjoying every moment until he grows bored or feels too attached. Then, he concocts elaborate excuses to sever ties, often vilifying me in the process. It’s never about remorse or guilt; it’s about maintaining the thrill of the chase. So, don’t expect confessions—after all, to them, it’s just a game.
