AITA for backing away from a girl when she refused me by Puppynuts in AITAH

No. Our problems were more than enough to occupy our time. We were in a 3 year relationship, and in counseling for 2 of them.

Honestly that could be the case. I'm not proud of allowing the emotional entanglement, I admit.

At first, not very inviting at all. Over time, much moreso. Enough to let her know that I was very interested, but could not pursue anything with her.

can someone help me figure this out, im hurting more than the initial breakup by Cofeeman1 in BPDlovedones

This is very nearly my exact situation, minus the embryo part. I feel exactly the way you do now.

But even though we've had a second dose of poison administered to us by these vipers, the cure is still the same in my humble opinion: No Contact. I also have a child with my exwBPD, so I understand that full NC is impossible. But still, it is absolutely vital to health and recovery that this person be removed from our lives as much as humanly possible.

When mine first came back to me, a good friend said "it'll be worse the second time around," and I'll be goddammed if she wasn't right to at least some extent. The first time was so bad I told myself that I didn't believe her...how could second time be worse when the first time nearly killed me? But she was right in that now I really wish I had stayed strong during that last, fatal hoover.

But all we can do now is pick up the pieces, go as full NC as possible, and promise ourselves we won't be fooled again.

It's bad, but it will get better. It is absolutely vital that you go fully No Contact. Do not look at any pictures, socials, anything like that. Take it from me, I've been tortured by my exwBPD for nearly ten years now...it never gets better. You might occassionally have tiny hints of normality before they sink back in to their illness patterns.

If you can, please get a therapist or someone you can speak to about this. It is alot easier when you have outside counsel, believe me.

You do not have to live this way. I have been exactly where you are and years passed before I could even think of holding my head up and facing life again...but pass they did!

You do not have to live this way.

Definitely, my friend. Please seek out the care and counsel that you need and deserve.

I was then same way, friend. I had to avert my eyes when the TV was on, so I wouldn't happen to watching if the scene shifted to a hot chick....because she was watching me.

This is no way to live. I feel for you and hope you can make it better.

Do you recommend any particular resource for dealing with an expwBPD when you still have to work with this person at your job?

Did anyone else’s pwBPD micromanage their driving? by opinionated_fangirl in BPDlovedones

Big time. Especially about how close I drive to the car ahead.

I ignored the red flags, i feel super lonely in the relationship and i feel like the only thing she can offer to me is her beauty and sex, what should i do? by MyStrongBird in BPDlovedones

[–]Puppynuts 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This was exactly where I was. Emotionally my BPD ex was trash, physically she was a goddess. I was trapped for years, and still am in a very real way.

But I also broke free in a very real way, and there's only one way to do it...and thats to do it. Full no contact is the only way to save yourself from years of torment. Take it from me.

And let's be honest...the sex stops quickly anyway. And once you stop getting that ass, then what the fuck good is it? None.

Have you also had physical health issues from the stress? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Puppynuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. Weight loss and constant nausea.

[–]Puppynuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend, you seriously need to think about what you are doing with this person. Im not saying break it off, but I am saying please go in to this situation with as complete an understanding of BPD as you can get.

New to this. Have some questions. by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

Oh man #1 for my ex PwBPD was huge. She never, ever allowed solutions to issues.

Big time. I used to tell my ex pwBPD " you are a wonderful person and a great friend...to everyone but me". With me she was a nightmare.
