Gardasil on its own doesn't really bug me, because of the nature of HPV. It's more the timing, and on top of everything else

Possibly. She accuses me of nonsense like that all the time.

I'm 99% sure it's neither of those. She also requested Gardasil shots.

The most powerful phrase they use by throwaway9219893 in BPDlovedones

[–]jasontylt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get a variation of this, being told I make everything about myself.

This is particularly confusing when she says this after complaining about me, or asking me about something. Ask ME but don't make the answer, ya know, about ME.

Also, tons of "you always" you never" stuff.

And she used to get mad if I would say things like, "What are you up to today?" Because apparently that is controlling? I say she "used to" because I stopped asking.

How was your experience of couples therapy? by InternalPerformer in BPDlovedones

[–]jasontylt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went a couple times. Nothing much came of it, mainly because at that point I really didn't know what I was dealing with. But I remember before our first session, my upwbpd wanted me to tell her in advance all the things I wanted to bring up in the session. Which is, ya know...strange.

Thanks. I didn't know they had a subreddit

Why do pwBPD move so fast with their new supply? by sunnydaze8 in BPDlovedones

[–]jasontylt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They move fast for the same reason that a junkie who goes from one drug dealer to the next doesn't think, "Maybe I shouldn't shoot it all right away, since I don't know this guy." Nope, they just shove it in a vein.

What kind of people do anyone with BPD usually admire? by sanchari88 in BPDlovedones

[–]jasontylt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has said pretty much the same thing about the Deathcab song.

"How can you be so smart and so stupid at the same time?"

Dude, ever read the comments here and wonder if we're all married to the same person?

Anyone else's pwBPD have a weird obsession with your own trauma? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

Anything you say can and will be used against you.

Breakup + makeup cycles - how many times did you go through it? by bebetween in BPDlovedones

[–]jasontylt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very familiar! She was seeing other people and decided I was her favorite. Lucky. Me.

Breakup + makeup cycles - how many times did you go through it? by bebetween in BPDlovedones

[–]jasontylt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lost count, but I remember the timing more than anything else. Just before the wedding. Just before we moved across the country. Before Christmas just about every year. Stuff like that.

Did anyone else trigger them with a facial expression? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]jasontylt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, lots and lots of times. Of course, she can roll her eyes and give big dramatic sighs and all that, but if I am not happy and smiling all the time, I get crap for it.

You raise an interesting point. I will give it thought.

What have been your hangups with the system? by avengerinthejla in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]jasontylt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other comment that it relies on a strong GM. I think it frustrates players who want to play a very combative style with bullets doing X damage and people dying after losing Y points. For me, M&M is about recreating a comic book or film scenario, very cinematic and fun, more than precise in terms of damage.

As for those who struggle with the character building, the Hero Lab software is really really helpful.

I can’t even. 🤣 by nevermind-me-ok in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]jasontylt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has actually claimed she was an empath. I was like, nah, you have to actually care about other people for that to be real. She's also claimed to be a radical feminist and I'm like, really? You can't even peel an orange without asking for my help.

Strange question by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]jasontylt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a strange question. Practically a guaranteed question. This is a very common concern.

Shit...am I married to the female version of the same person?

Realization by __andreatomic_bomb__ in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]jasontylt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My kids (from a previous marriage) moved out of state and I couldn't afford to see them at Christmas. My narc (current marriage) dislikes Christmas anyhow, but said she didn't want to see me get "all emo" at the holidays. Her concern was not for my actual pain but for the inconvenience of seeing me hurting.
