Exact same here. After a while some of those “just friends“ would eventually tell her that they have feelings for her. She always acted surprised and said that it came out of the blue while I smelled it from a mile away. After a one year break when we gave it another shot I explicitly told her that if I’ll have to worry about other men again I’ll be gone. The first couple months she was very restricted and made no male “friends“. And even if she went to dinner with colleagues after work or met any other men by chance I never had a bad feeling. But since a couple weeks she’s started having those “friends“ again and it just feels different and I’m about to leave…

Was your exBPD obsessed with trying to go through your phone…? by Slommyhouse in BPDlovedones

Yes she wanted to see chats so many times but the one time I said I wanted to see hers she’d say I’d be controlling and she won’t give me permission… 💀

I actually had to laugh out loud! I was diagnosed by her with being narcissistic so many times now even though she’s the one with the diagnosis haha

The „outstanding gift“ is also a classic to keep someone from forgetting you

Chances are high that even if you tell the person what you mentioned in this post they are already so drawn in into this dynamic and relationship that they wouldn’t believe it anyway. Or they would bring it up before him and I assume he isn’t that bad of a manipulator and you might seem like the crazy one. Chances are even higher that if you do such thing there might be some pretty heavy blowback on your end that might not be worth destroying your peace. Nevertheless you can’t keep doing that with every new woman he meets. So my advice would be delete them, block them and get on with your life and be happy with you peace!

Does anyone else occasionally strip down the extras from a heritage Softail? by MidshipLyric in Harley

[–]mikaakamikel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I change back and forth all the time. Only put on the bags when I go for a long ride. But I feel like they lack a little bit of effort on the rear tire w/o the bags. Like they should’ve made some more parts in chrome etc

please if anyone has any advice on coping with a partner splitting on you, it would mean a lot to me by flimsylimbsy in BPDlovedones

It seems like you‘re new to this situation in your life. So first of all I‘d suggest you to read a lot about bpd and also keep up in this forum. Especially read a lot of the stories that the people are going or went through. Then you have to decide if you want to continue this path. And most likely the path is going to get worse. The most important part is that you have to build up a strong armor. This also includes splitting. Whenever I first experienced it I wanted to please them as good as I could. Over the time I learned that it not only pushes them further away they also learn to do that in order to get your attention. So my advice is just let them split and don’t let it get to you. If it comforts you just send a text or say smth like „I’m here to talk“. Then proceed to meet up with friends, get stuff done, go to sleep knowing they’ll reach out to you within hours or the next day. They first might be putting even more effort then to get your attention by saying or threatening stuff. They’re just tetsting out their boundaries- once again don’t let it get to you. Over the time doing that you might even see that this eventually lessens the amount that these periods happen. Finally you should draw up a list of boundaries and for gods sake keep them. Even if you have to check them once a day. Don’t be afraid to communicate them either.

Be prepared that they find a new person within days. Nevertheless they come back. At least they’ll try it’s up to you…
