Alas, any narcissist worth their salt would soon gauge that ignoring me wouldn’t work, because when I was a teenager I realized that when my mother got in a huff with me, the silence was a blessing so, in effect, I’m a veteran of the silent treatment and not seeing them or hearing from them would be a relief. So, of course, they’d have to take a different tack with me such as make a loud, embarrassing scene, stir up a big drama, demand attention constantly, invade my personal space or all of the above.
It’s much easier on the narc to control someone when they’re in a close relationship with them, such as a spouse, their child, or a close friend. Then, I can imagine, they skip the love-bombing (because that wouldn’t work anyway) and go straight to devaluing. But they won’t be kind enough to just disappear.

In reply to Marina. I feel for you Marina. A year is a long time, even for a narcissist!

My Husband does that the longest he has ignored me before was for one year. He always runs to Mommy for Advice which drives me crazy . The only reason I stay is bc I’m on Disability. We do not have a Relationship even though we been married for 24 years. He has cheated on me the entire time. It’s very hard to tolerate him. He is a terrible person.
