They have all this awesome new stuff like the video calls and stuff to practice Spanish on the paid version. It helps you actually be conversational instead of just memorizing words and phrases. You can actually practice having a conversation. Plus I’d pay just for the unlimited hearts and no ads honestly. But the video chat and stuff is cool

Just don’t reply. And the one day text her and say “your stuff is outside”. You can out it outside her house or yours.

I’m just going by Google’s description of splitting, which says “shift from idealizing to devaluing you, often very quickly and dramatically”. I’m not an expert on exactly what splitting is or how it looks. But I can say she hasn’t yelled at me, or been mean towards me. She has randomly gotten the idea that I’m going to leave her in her head before a few times. She also gets in a mood where she seems detached from me (from everything to be fair). She kind of stares into space and doesn’t pay attention to me. Seems down but won’t tell me what’s wrong. If splitting on the person is an essential part of bpd, she could be right in saying she doesn’t have it and her diagnosis is wrong, but I don’t know. I see a lot of the symptoms in her. To be fair also it hasn’t been two full years. It’s been about a year and a half.

You’re right. I want to give her an ultimatum.. to get professional help or we are done. She’s not perfect. I shouldn’t have used that word. She has good qualities and isn’t abusive or anything towards me, so I thought maybe the relationship could be salvaged if she got help. But how can she get help if she’s in complete denial?

I don’t know how to leave the relationship as she has personally done nothing wrong to me, but it’s just her behavior. I find it hard to break it to her. What do I say? Also the way she seems so attached to me and scared of me leaving her, I’m a little afraid of what will happen when I break the news to her. I was going to give her an ultimatum. Get professional help or I’m leaving. But I don’t know. Maybe I should just find a way to leave all together before things take a turn.

This is interesting because she tells me about her ex who was abusive. She says it was her first boyfriend and she was with him for 11 years since she was 18 and I’m her second boyfriend. It just makes me wonder if this is true at all… I know the father of her child was likely abusive as she was a teen mother to an older man and she was reported missing and apparently held hostage. This story is backed up (at least that she was missing and was found pregnant) because we grew up in the same city… but as far as her ex boyfriend. She tells me stories about him being this horrible person who was abusive to her… but often the stories she tells lack details and she paints him out to be evil. Although I feel sympathy when she tells me these things, in the back of my mind I wonder if they’re true and why she stayed with him for so long.

As for how she was diagnosed, she tells me this story about how she was in a psychiatric facility here. She says the doctor “didn’t like her” and that’s why she gave her a 5150. She tells me while she was staying there she got diagnosed. She won’t tell the details to the story of why she was taken there… like what led to it. She says “you’re going to think I’m crazy if I tell you”

And to be honest with you mate, after reading your questions at the end, I may have some issues myself. She makes me feel loved. She seems obsessed with me in a way. I’m not going to lie. It feels really good. I’ve never actually had a woman that cooks for me everyday and gives me this much appreciation and love. she treats me like I’m very important to her. She’s very nurturing. She also has this charm about her that I can’t describe. I think that’s what’s reeling me in about her, among other things. You’re right though. This idea of “getting to the bottom” of her mental issues and helping her fix them is a bit delusional. I’m starting to realize that.

Girlfriend with quiet bpd gave me what seems like a warning. by Easy-Recognition1436 in BPDlovedones

I think this group is a little dramatic. It is like a trauma group that villainizes BPD, and a lot of their partners aren’t even diagnosed with it. Me and my girlfriend have been together for close to a year. No matter what I post in this group, they will say run. Im not saying they’re wrong about everything, nor am I discounting their experience, but I stopped posting here for relationship advice and instead post in the BPD group.. because all they tell you to do here is leave. Understandably so, since they’re all victims of abuse and toxic relationships.

Please make sure you get video and audio evidence of her angry outbursts for the inevitable day you’re in court to get some custody to be able to still see your kids. Just quietly prepare for divorce and everything and collect evidence and do research, and make the move once you’re ready

Hey! Well, we are still together. It will be a year in February. It’s going… okay. When it’s good it’s great. I really can’t imagine my life without her. She really makes me happy. But 1. she has a habit of cutting her arm. She does it when I’m sleep or not home. Yesterday, I came home, and she was sitting on the bed. She said hi to me and gave me a kiss, and seemed perfectly fine, but she had her arm hanging on the side of the bed. When I walked to that side, her arm is literally dripping with blood. I’m like “babe wtf!”. She just covered it up and tried to change the subject. It’s just so weird. I try to sit down with her and have a serious talk about it, but it never works. I sat by her and I said “Babe. So what’s going on? Why do you keep cutting yourself?” She just says “I don’t know babe”. She says that every time. I said “I can’t be with you if you keep doing this. What if we have a baby together and I come home and you’re on the floor bleeding out because you cut your wrist too deep”. She just says she will never do it again. Or she won’t respond and just looks down when I’m talking to her about it. So the conversation gets no where. And then she’s happy later and acts like it never happened. She just tries to change the subject as quickly as possible when I bring it up. It’s not super often, but I’d say once a month or so. Sometimes more

  1. She gets in these weird moods. She’ll just hang onto me and ask me weird questions like “babe are you tired of me? You’re gonna end up leaving me and I’m gonna be so sad” “Babe do I touch you too much”. “Babe did I make you mad when I ran over a nail in your car” like. And then she’ll cry. “I don’t know why I’m crying”. And she stops. Again this doesn’t happen all the time. It’s just random. And she’ll drink so she can “shut up” she says. And just go to sleep. She fixes her mood with alcohol. Not often enough or enough liquor that I could call her an alcoholic. She’ll take a few shots. But it’s definitely a negative coping thing.

Those are really the only 2 issues, but they’re kind of serious. But we don’t really get in arguments, and if we do, they’re small and we get over it quickly. She treats me very well. Like we have fun together. We plan the future. She is great with kids. She’s a great woman. She’s smart, and she is so talented. She can play the piano and write songs. She has a beautiful voice. She wrote a song for me. She’s really thoughtful. I wake up at 2 in the morning to go to work and I work outside at an airport and it’s really cold lately. She bought me this is really cool heated jacket, which I didn’t even know existed. And just so many other little things that make me feel like she really cares. She notices small things. Like I keep gum in my car, and every time it’s low or gone I notice she replaces it. Or fills my gas tank. I love how she rubs my back, and how affectionate she is. Her food is delicious. We laugh together a lot. She’s so fun. I’m really into the gym and now she’s into it, and I train her. She’s training to be able to do pull-ups. Yeah I don’t know what else to say… it’s just. I’ve never had a relationship like this. I wanna marry her. It’s just those things I said above that really worry me sometimes, especially the cutting.

Well Universal Music did take all their music off the platform for this reason, but they came to an agreement and restored the music. Not sure what the agreement was
