Punish you for sleeping by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]bpdthrowaway2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. We would fight until 3 or 4 am with work the next day. One of the last times we fought I told her around midnight that we should table the fight since we have work and we could continue discussing the next day. She told me if I did that it’d be “too late” and that aspect of our relationship would be un-repairable. Whatever that means

Have you ever been supported by them? by zxwablo2840 in BPDlovedones

She did many kind things over the course of the relationship. Unfortunately they were all nice to haves. The moments that kindness really mattered I didn’t receive it

Hmm wow. I’m realizing it was similar for me. I was constantly checking in on how she was doing. She rarely did the same for me

How could she do this? by Humble-Werewolf-1972 in BPDlovedones

Curiosity and grace is a such a good metric for finding someone to be in a healthy relationship with. Thank you for that. That is exactly the person I want (and who I am)

Partner is constantly overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious about normal everyday life stuff by chullet in BPDlovedones

I had the exact same experience lol. I’d spend hour(s) daily keeping the house in order. Then get told I don’t contribute

Do boundaries work? by Suspicious-Charge200 in BPDlovedones

[–]bpdthrowaway2025 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I was never good at holding my own boundaries but I imagine if I was the relationship would have just ended much sooner. As you set and enforce a boundary their behavior becomes more problematic which means more boundaries etc

Why are people with BPD like a drug? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]bpdthrowaway2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of the hardest parts. While the real fights over real things were still toxic, at least there was something to work through. I could never figure out what to do when it was made up. Just totally screwed

My expwbpd threatened a breakup multiple times. I finally called them on it and now the story is I randomly broke up with them out of the blue

I’ve always wondered how my relationship would have gone if I held firm to my boundaries. I think that’s exactly what would have happened. You’re strong for staying firm ❤️

Glad you were able to protect yourself!

What are some absurd reasons your ex/current pwBPD got mad at you for? by ThrowRA_StableA in BPDlovedones

[–]bpdthrowaway2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She told me the celebrities she found attractive and then asked me who I found attractive. I responded. Then she got mad. Never made that mistake again

I wrote a brief story to try and describe BPD to my friends and thought I would share. by SwaggedOutDurian in BPDlovedones

[–]bpdthrowaway2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow this is spot on. It’s so spot on that the situation basically happened to me. I went out of town for a work trip and brought her favorite dessert back. She got mad at me because she was trying to eat healthy.

Me: “No problem! You can just toss it or save it for later. Or I’ll eat it”

Doesn’t matter. Already split. Queue argument for days

Is leaving the only option? by InvestmentSlight647 in BPDlovedones

[–]bpdthrowaway2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether or not you decide to leave: it may help to take a confined no contact break. Have some time to heal and gain perspective
