How do you fall out of love with a narcissist?

I love and miss my ex but I think he was toxic for me. I don’t know if I can ever live another partner that much. How can I stop loving him?

Everyone so far has posted great responses. I would add the following.

Narcissists project an image of who they want to believe they are. They deceive others and themselves with that image.

You are in love with the image. The man you love never existed.

@DrWatson and this image is also something [u]you[/u] created. You must distinguish between the dream (whatever this person meant for you, they were probably an ego booster at some point) and what the relationship became (something bringing you down).

@EarthlingWise Excellent point.
