another bite

 What was the very first “red flag” about your Narcissist that you wish you had not ignored?

I think it is likely many significant others observed odd cell phone behaviors very early on in their relationships which are easy to dismiss as being simply coincidences or non-issues..

For example, if a narcissist relationship partner engaged in any of the following cell phone machinations early on in a relationship, it may very well have been a sign of trouble ahead.

always leaving the cell phone face down

taking the cell phone with him or her to the bathroom

never picking up the cell phone to answer a significant other’s call, and then later asserting the SO’s calls were never responded to because the cell phone battery needed to be charged.

keeping the cell phone on silent mode while in the SO’s presence

editing significant others’ text messages such that if said texts were seen by others it would appear as if the narcissist had no significant other.

putting one’s cell phone on do not disturb mode during “sneak” intervals 

Also pretending not to have a cell phone, not ever answering your calls but using it constantly in front of you, lying about being out of range and the list goes on… having more than one cell phone, lying and saying I don’t have a home number- it goes on!! Maybe it all starts with the cell phone!!
