Why Narcissists are Serial Cheaters
Wondering why narcissists are serial cheaters? That’s not to say that all adulterers are narcs. However, those with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are far more likely to step out on their partners. They’re highly predictable people, and many are addicted to pornography and sex.
They operate without conscience and justify everything from theft to adultery. Because they’re programmed to blame others for their faults, their perception of right and wrong are terribly skewed. They’re fully capable of controlling themselves when required, but for narcs it’s a lot of work.

Why Do Narcissists Think it’s Okay to Cheat?
Narcissists don’t live by the same rules as everyone else, but they make sure that others do. Why are narcissists more likely to cheat? They feel exempt from rules and societal laws because they’re deeply selfish people that aren’t capable of empathy let alone seeing past their own wants and needs.
They’re self-serving, morally depraved, blood-sucking members of society that just don’t don’t think like normal people. They live by their own set of rules and they’re able to justify cheating. It’s always someone else’s fault. Narcs don’t stop to think that maybe, just maybe they’re wrong and not as wonderful as they envision.

Coverts learn what’s expected of them and how to act by ‘normal’ people.
Overts also know how to act through the observations of others, but because they’re not as clever or as cunning as coverts their behavior is more erratic. They’re the ones more likely to blowup at the drop of a hat whereas covert narcs plot and scheme ways to abuse their primary target.
