I think my ex is a narcissist. He’s hoovered me in the past. This time I’ve angered him by exposing him. Please help me. Will he be back?

In Jan 2022 I ended things with my ex partner. He used to gaslight me, minimise me, triangulate and just didn’t seem serious about getting married. Anyway, I had done A LOT of research and figured that he was likely a narcissist or at least had strong narcissistic tendencies. His life story would suggest likewise. By the time things ended, his family was also supporting his behaviour and trying to isolate me from my friends and family - I called them out on it and this caused conflict between our families.

For over a month we didn’t talk.

He messaged me in Feb 2022, demanding that we chat about the break up, that we meet up. When we did meet, he told me he’d been chatting to girls on dating apps and it wasn’t the same. That he wanted it to work with me and that it was his decision to make not his family’s.

Long story short, in May - June 2022 his family “forced” him to pick a side and understandably he picked theirs.

However, I’ve always felt something was fishy. I asked a mutual friend to get me a list of girls he followed on Insta since Jan. I messaged them and it turned out that during this reconciliation phase of ours where he told me he was emotionally invested and would do anything to get back together - he had actually been chatting to other girls, downloaded apps again, asked the girls to meet up and “cuddle” (his codeword for $3x).

Knowing the power of this information, I approached him about it. He got into a narcissistic rage, verbally abused me, told me to F off etc and that he was sick of me and scared of me. However I am not blocked incase I ever “need” him for emotional support.

My question: is he likely to come back after being exposed like this? I dropped names of the girls, mentioned quotes etc. I’m curious and would appreciate some insight! We work at the same company (different offices) and he’s used Microsoft Teams to rope me back in last time. HR isn’t really helping.

Please help me.

PS: Guys, I blocked him on iMessage about a week ago. I have enough friends to chat to when I’m down, I don’t need to go to him.

However, he works at the same company (different office) and my HR is not blocking him. He used Microsoft Teams to rope me back in last time. So essentially, I have to leave my job to have him gone from everywhere.
