Try googling is the narcissist happy with the new woman. As I recall, you don't like labels, but this is exactly what they do. This may sound awful, along the lines of your confession to Sandi, but to see you go through the same emotions as the rest of us mere mortals is such a reminder about how all of this is so difficult and life-changing no matter how much you know and have lived through. The difference for you is that you are intelligent, compassionate, knowledgable and experienced. You will cycle through this faster than the rest of us. The short answer is no, he is not happier with the new woman. When people are truly happy, they don't need to broadcast it on FB.
