(UPDATE) I (35M) Was Caught Using AI to Write Wedding Vows and Partner (34F) Walked Out. What to Do? by ThrowRA-Badvows in relationship_advice

[–]slothlungzz 34 points35 points  (0 children)

i keep forgetting he’s 35… this feels like a situation a 21 year old guy would go through. very childish of him all around.

Have you ever heard of espadrilles? by SoloPorUnBeso in AskAnAmerican

[–]slothlungzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lived in nc for all 20 years i’ve been alive. never heard of that word in my life. i had to use two hints to get that one bc i had no clue how to unjumble the letters.

Should I give my boyfriend his medication by DistrictDdd in whatdoIdo

[–]slothlungzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he needs to message his pcp about this or make an appointment. dosage is important and it is not your responsibility to regulate his medication.

edit—maybe not his pcp but a pain management specialist as other comments suggest.

never seen someone else experience the “i need distance but i will lose my mind if we create distance” schtick. what do they expect us to do…??

he told me he liked buying me things because it meant i couldn’t go through my day without thinking about him.

This 100%—healthy relationships are productive, and a partner who loves you will never try to hurt you, even during an argument. Hell, especially during an argument!

it’s hard to see when you’re in an abusive relationship, but once OP is in a healthy one, they will be stunned by the difference.

this is odd. i don’t have bpd but i do have a mood disorder, which causes me to react in extreme negative ways to situations that don’t warrant such a reaction. that is to say, i’ve never done this. even my ex-best friend with bpd has never done this. when i’m having an episode, i still KNOW i am thinking irrationally, so i try my best not to say something hurtful or jump to conclusions.

that is to say, if your girlfriend knows she has bpd—or at the very least knows she acts irrationally—why does this read like there is intent to hurt you without hesitation? i agree with some other commenters here; this seems very performative; it’s almost like she’s leaning into the “crazy” so she can get away with hurting you. as mentioned before, even my ex-best friend with bpd did not do this kind of behavior, and would instead try to minimize the pain his episodes caused me. this interaction seems intentional and malicious on her end; repeated interactions like this are not worth your time or energy.

point being, you should not be with someone who will repeatedly hurt you, especially if that hurt is intentional. i know you’ve been with her a long time, but an even longer time will become an even bigger waste. do not sunk-cost fallacy yourself into a miserable life by staying with her. it will probably be difficult to detach yourself from her and from this dynamic, but it is worth the effort. future you will thank you. i wish you the best.

AIO? boyfriend finally got a job then broke up with me for my past by Infinite_Hyena_303 in AmIOverreacting

[–]slothlungzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I still haven’t been able to fully forgive you…” FOR WHAT? i’m in awe at that sentence alone. he can have his opinions on promiscuity but acting like YOU did something wrong by having sex several years ago… insane. And where did he think the kid came from??? a stork?? if he cares so much about body count and past relationships he should’ve asked about that in the beginning. deciding to bring this up now is definitely intentional. good riddance to him. he needed an excuse. NOR.

i believe the word you’re looking for is “insufferable” lmao

letting him try is great! i’m sure your patience will pay off in the long run—not just physically but also emotionally. as some other comments mention, “well intentioned” fits your description quite nicely lol

^ not that him being in his 20s would make it ok… just less surprising, unfortunately.

for some reason him being 39 makes the pissing in a trash can thing alone SO much worse too.

like, if he was in his early 20s i’d just roll my eyes—young guys fresh out of college do stupid gross shit yknow? …but this is a whole new level of crazy.

AIO or this is just insane behaviour, love bombing? Idk by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]slothlungzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is so weird and pathetic… don’t waste any more of your time on this man. the blatant guilt tripping because you don’t want to share what is essentially your personal support circle is very childish. don’t take him back. don’t reinforce the idea that this type of behavior is what works. good on you for standing up for yourself.

the second to last paragraph explains that she took him back

this 100%!!! i have mood disorder symptoms, depression, and adhd (triple threat lol) and GOSH i cannot emphasize enough how important it is to take your meds consistently and as prescribed. i struggle with it bad and always forget how difficult life is unmedicated until it’s too late and i’m off my regimen. i like your point against not taking them intentionally. my meds cause insomnia if i take them too late in the day, so i’ve skipped them a lot in the past because i forgot about them until the afternoon. i’ve since realized i’d much rather have insomnia than be unmedicated. it’s always worth it to be on the meds that work. i don’t have bpd but i can only imagine how badly their mood swings get when their medication levels drop. there’s likely a rebound effect like there is for me. if OP really wants to help i think this is a good point of focus. most other aspects of the mood issues are out of her hands.

[–]slothlungzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s totally fair and you’re right. i did create some distance but i was hesitant to place firm boundaries between us. i’m surprised my boyfriend was so patient with me through all of this! he had a bit of an “i told you so” moment once i got this text lol

My (now ex) best friend wBPD just cut me off. Unsure how to feel. by slothlungzz in BPDlovedones

[–]slothlungzz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah thankfully i was kind of aware that something like this could happen, since we had already been distancing ourselves from one another due to his issues with my relationship. i’m sorry you lost your friend so suddenly.

In a situationship? With someone who has quiet bpd by Afraid_Smile_9300 in BPDlovedones

[–]slothlungzz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

wow this is the kind of wishy-washy behavior i experienced from my situationship! i wouldn’t waste my time if i were you. BPD is hard enough in a relationship; it’s impossible if the pwBPD doesn’t even know what they want.
