When you deal with a manipulative narcissist, the moment you catch them doing something wrong and they cannot deny it, they will flip the script. They shift blame, point out your flaws, and rewrite the situation until their behavior becomes your fault.
This is why attraction and good times are not enough to judge character. You learn who someone really is when they are frustrated, denied, or exposed. Watch how people act when they do not get what they want. That is where the truth shows itself.
Know who you are dealing with before you commit. Accountability reveals character. Deflection reveals danger.
