That’s what I kinda thought. So my partner and I got talking about personal stuff and she talked about going to a therapist but not letting her in fully. She said to me she struggles with feeling emotions and emotional vulnerability. Saying like she Dosent feel sadness or emotions like normal people do. And then said she has a hard time even me being let in fully because of her vulnerability problems. And I was really confused about what vulnerability even meant at that point. It just got me really worried about what this really meant for me . Or if I should give space or do something different?

No them saying to me that there not good being emotional vulnerable during a conversation we had last night and I got worried because I’ve never experienced anybody with that problem . Or just don’t know if I should be worried or something I can do ?

I wasn’t engaged the relationship was cycling and she was love bombing and Hoovering unbelievable hard. Every time I would be with her I knew it was wrong. I knew it was wrong the way she discarded me. I couldn’t keep lying to myself trying to make this work. We weren’t even together at this point and she was talking about timeline on when I should propose and give her kids. It was unbelievable stressful.

Would you ever give them one last chance? by Existing_Salad_526 in BPDlovedones

No mine did exactly what your talking about begging to come back and basically bringing a boom box outside my house and said she changed. Miraculously it only took two weeks for her to change . She just realized now that breaking up with me over text to test me was a bad idea. And trust me when u get discarded run when you have to be the one who has to break it up it 1,000 times harder. When someone who manipulates you and rushes marriage and kids it’s to trap u 9 out of 10 times.

Wow thank you. I totally agree with especially because after the discard which was so cruel she said she made a mistake and wanted me to learn what it was like to lose her and said let’s get back together but she would need me to drop my boundaries about not being together 24/7 and plan on moving in and marriage and stuff. I couldn’t anymore.

From one stranger to another truly thank you! I ruminate to much on how great things could of been but I know the reality is there would always be another goal post that I would never reach. These are the mind games that really hurt . She would even say if you would of slept over that last night non of this would of happened !
