I don't think you will be able to get any new answers to your question: some people cheat and lie, others do not. Many people with NPD do what they want with little consideration of consequences. Just like anyone else - they do things because they want to, if it happens to be something that will end in some sort of consequence then they may think they can get away with it, don't care about the consequence, or simply don't think of it before they act.

What are you hoping people will answer with?
I don't know all the answers but I have done a lot of research and have heard other on this site talking about their false - self and supply I am asking questions to gain as much information as possible and who better to give that than someone suffering fro NPD - are you NPD? Their is no judgement I just want to know so that I am able to understand and help my partner and to know how to deal with the rages etc.
