As a medical professional I’d be interested in how many Narcs you know who wish to and do maintain close friendships with exes they were in long term relationships with?
Why does SJ have a habit of this? The men, why do they allow it if she is a Narc? Having observed my Histrionic friend, her fervent desire is to maintain relationships - until death if she could. She seems to not understand the depths of emotion the other injured party has around a break up. Also, she never ends a relationship, unless she’s had an affair and gone on to another. One of her former BFs said to me. “I’ll probably never be loved so assiduously as long as I live”. Isn’t that love bombing? Just gets too much for the recipient.
Perhaps Snorts is HPD?
Uhm. Not aware narcs maintain "friendship" with anyone. I was saying SJ is a narc, not your friend.
If you believe I said they maintain close friendships with exes, we have a miscommunication. They may stalk, harass, rape, frivolously litigate, drug, firebomb, track via GPS, or run their exes off the road, but that's the only kind of relationship they maintain.

As for why men allow it, narcissists are proverbially seductive once they've assessed the possibilities someone is susceptible to domination. (In addition to her partner, my relative's two best friends were on the narc spectrum.) They require narcissistic supply, and if they've decide you're it, nothing can stop them from love bombing you into submission. Then, all friends and family members of the supply figure are cut off, because narcs isolate their prey. Etc. It's garden variety checklist symptomology.
It's not always obvious that a narcissist is isolating you. But if you're familiar with the signs, you'll know exactly what to look out for.
