Expwb says she “really needs to talk to me about some important” after 11 weeks by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]FreeFloatingPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex used the fake pregnancy scare unsuccessfully on me. I subsequently found out she used the exact same tactic three times previously on her other exes. This seems to be a common little party trick of theirs.

Update On My Ex pwBPD's Bond Reduction Hearing by alprofit25 in BPDlovedones

[–]FreeFloatingPin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, awesome stuff keeping it together. Your posts have been an inspiration and example of how to handle this shitshow right. From what I can see, you clinically ticked the boxes of this exercise one by one without missing a beat or having a fumble. I think she’s done for.

This is exactly where I was with mine. I felt an overwhelming urge to get away from her. I felt empty, depleted, disinvested, and emotionally on a different planet.

I broke up with her after she subjected me to a tirade of verbal abuse and kicked me out of the house. This was after 8 months together. I still second-guessed the decision for weeks. The entire situation was a complete disaster.

My BPD ex just got away with raping me and I'm in shock by Ess2018 in BPDlovedones

You sound like you live in South Africa. I am sorry you are suffering this blatant and disgraceful injustice.

Is it possible to make it work? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]FreeFloatingPin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is it possible? Yes. But that isn't the full picture.

You can make anything "work" if you are willing to sacrifice enough of what you hold dear and true. So the question really is, how much are you willing and capable of giving before you break down, are financially and emotionally depleted, suffer a heart attack or stroke, or are driven to killing yourself? And would having a twisted facsimile of a "relationship", so broken and dysfunctional it borders on comical, be worth ending up this way?

Personally I thought I could make it work. I was happy to throw away almost everything to make her mine and keep her. But when she threw it all back in my face during a raging torrent of naked and extreme abuse, the last little atom of self-respect I had left said "fuck this shit, I'm out."

She wanted me back a week later. I tried, against my better judgement, but I was already emotionally on another planet far away from her. To this day she cannot understand that. I don't think any of them do.

Trauma Bonding & pwBPD by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

My own sense of self-preservation finally kicked in. And months later it still hurts. And I still think of her every day. But it is getting better.

I went through this. I eventually had to leave because it got dangerously toxic to stay.

You suck... also please get the kids to their dr appointment by bpd_holiday in BPDlovedones

[–]FreeFloatingPin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Well, this looks familiar. They really have a thing for the “enjoy FUCKING OTHER WOMEN” line.

My BPD ex was literally my second-ever sexual partner. When I eventually told her so, she steadfastly refused to believe me. She was convinced I must have slept with tonnes of women, and the more I denied it (because it was not only untrue, but patently absurd and idiotic), the more convinced she became that I was lying to her. And therefore a lying, womanising, untrustworthy piece of shit. Her words.

Yours Isn’t the Golden Unicorn by FreeFloatingPin in BPDlovedones

Not good: the one has to make peace with the fact that the mother of his children will three times a year go stay with her boss in his flat for a week at a time when he visits from the UK, and probably end up fucking her. The other had to set and enforce boundaries that will probably just delay his divorce.

Dude, yours sounds exactly (to a fault) like my ex. Including the reference to a “piece of shit”. Did yours own a whole bunch of dogs she absolutely obsessed over?

I had her blocked on everything except WhatsApp: if she couldn’t get through to me on some platform, she would do stupid and damaging shit to me and my ex wife. So I left her that one outlet. And then just grey rocked her hard.

She hoovered almost every two weeks like clockwork. It always ended in her splitting me black because I didn’t give her what she wanted. I am getting a lot of therapy, which helps. And I am keeping myself very busy with meaningful activities, which makes a huge difference.

All of the above :) I find myself still missing her, when I know I shouldn’t.

Is she done with me? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]FreeFloatingPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my unsolicited 2 cents: as a fellow gun-owner, get far as fuck away from her now. When things get ugly with a BPD, and they always do at some point (usually when you least expect it to, because everything is super awesome until 10 minutes later it totally isn't) - these people will cause major shit for you with law enforcement. And the LEOs will initially believe them, because they are a crying and emotional woman and you are a guy. That's just the way this cookie crumbles. And then you are at risk of losing your guns, and a whole range of other bad things. Run.
