Number 4: You make them need you.
Narcissists are constantly seeking validation from others, and they often find it in romantic relationships. However, if you don’t need him or her as much as they need you, they may think twice before cheating because they won’t want to lose what they have with you. Narcissists need you more than you need them. To keep your narcissist from cheating, you need to make them need you.
They are people who feel entitled to whatever they want and don’t feel the need to respect or care about anyone else, they only care about themselves and their happiness. When your partner is a narcissist, their sense of self-worth is directly tied to the value they receive from other people.
They don’t feel worthy of love unless someone else confirms their worthiness. So, if they end up in a relationship with someone who doesn’t care about them as much as they do, narcissists cheat to get back at their partner for not caring enough.

Number 5: Narcissists have a fear of being caught.
They have a deep-seated fear of being found out and exposed as the frauds they are, so they’re unlikely to cheat if there’s any risk that they will be discovered. They are masters of manipulation, so they can fool most people into thinking they’re perfect. Still, narcissists are also extremely self-centered, which means that if someone else finds out about their infidelity, it’s like a massive slap to their ego.
As a result, narcissists will go to great lengths to keep their affairs secret; they often lie or change their entire personality to make themselves seem like better people than they are. Narcissists fear being discovered as cheaters because they fear losing control over their lives, and they don’t want anyone else to have power over them and will go to great lengths to avoid being seen as weak or vulnerable.
For this reason, narcissists rarely cheat on their partners in public spaces and often seek out areas where nobody knows them. They don’t feel guilty about hurting other people but worry about getting caught and punished. This fear keeps them from straying outside their relationship for too long.
