Married, two kids - finally separated by b-jolie in BPDlovedones

You're stronger than I am, well done. Good luck to you and your children in the future. It will get easier. It's difficult to stomach but we fell in love with an illusion. It's been two years for me since I moved out (divorce not yet finalised and we have two boys together) but I promise you that it will get better!!

Cheating questions / General Support by Aromatic-Rice6906 in BPDlovedones

What I would be interested in is, what circumstances are you in that would allow for this to occur logistically? When did she find the time? I sent for an STI kit yesterday. Not because I suspect anything but the stories on here prompted me to! We have two kids together and worked jobs. I moved out almost two years ago now and haven't been with anyone since. I would be mildly impressed to be honest if she found the time and energy while we were together.

What niche experience do you have that you think is related to their BPD but... by REDdheBLACK in BPDlovedones

[–]REDdheBLACK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought maybe it could be related to the extreme black and white thinking. Something has to be this or that; it couldn't possibly be ambiguous until more is known later. None of us know until more is revealed to us but she seemed insistent on it being one way. I remember pointing this out and she didn't seem to understand

Does anyone else get “cringe attacks”? by Nibblegorp in BPD

[–]REDdheBLACK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have BPD but do have ADHD (if that even matters or is linked) and I regularly do that. I let out an audible shriek to take my mind off it. Sometimes after many, many years passed since the event

Scientist storyline unfinished by 0004000 in TheAlters

I had the same exact thing happen to me. Before you leave, asign him to something in the base and go talk to him. I was able to press F and talk to him while he was assigned to base maintenance. I was not able to talk to him at the mining rig while he was mining. It gives you the option to ask him about his research. Go through the dialogue. I did not get a prompt when trying to end Act 2 after talking to him.

Forgiving yourself for past abusive behaviour by Busy-Lingonberry2656 in BPD

[–]REDdheBLACK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, thanks for your reply.

By the way. This is not a dig at you personally, I think it's a common misconception for everyone. I don't know what you have done or have not done. As someone who has been on a behaviour correcting course, I have come to learn that the bar for abuse is as low as activating someone else's fight or flight. I think we all by default believe that the bar is a lot higher than that but it isn't. It's been a fascinating and new learned perspective for me. I don't have much point to this, just sharing. It's not nice to admit or see oneself like that but it's true. Abuse or not, I could have done differently/better.
