What if they both have NPD?
Maybe if one was an inverted narcissist they could feed off each other and not be a mess...idk? I didn't consider that.

I was just trying to suggest that maybe her bf didn't actually have NPD...but I couldn't say for sure of course.
NPD is serious and no one here could say unless they were a professional, but sometimes people try to label behavior they don't understand.
If he does turn out to have NPD then she either needs to leave him or accept it and learn to love him unconditionally, with no delusions about how he is going to act. Having NPD does not mean you're not human. I can't imagine it being satisfying for someone that is healthy but not everyone is healthy.
