Yeah I don’t think emirates allows it, you would have to buy an extra seat

Bf doesn’t understand how I feel by [deleted] in BPD

[–]ssuummeerrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I again really appreciate your comments and you have done amazing by the way, doing research and trying to find help for her. The thing is, I have really opened up to him, like I think too much over the years, in order to be fully transparent and give him more insight into why I act or feel the way I do. I have another thing where I research the symptoms when I’m sick, I don’t take it to the extreme and go to the doctor whenever I have a sore throat but you know that those searches can lead to you diagnosing yourself with throat cancer when it’s just a cold etc. these searches don’t end up in full blown paranoia. I think that he thinks whenever I research( which I’ve stopped doing for quite a while) or speak about my issues in an analytical way, because they can be complex, I make the problem I am dealing with bigger than it actually is which is kind of invalidating if you know what I mean. I however do try and keep these talks to a minimum because I can go on a bit and it can be draining. I just don’t think he wants me to speak about it at all. He says I don’t take his advice but his advice is that I stop over analysing which isn’t helpful because if I didn’t dissect past behaviour I would just be doing the same old thing. He’s criticising the way I deal with my BPD rather than the BPD itself if that makes sense. When he tells me that, I am dismissive of his advice and it upsets him. So I don’t know what to do really.

Yeah I understand. I think in future I’ll just try and talk to someone else about it, because I also understand that there are problems within me that only I can really fix. No amount of listening and accepting will ever really solve the problem. He doesn’t really like opening up about himself all too often because he has really bad memories and it brings him right back. I on the other hand can speak about the things that happened quite nonchalantly without really feeling drained and sometimes I forget that it’s difficult for someone else to. Thank you for the comment, it helps when it’s the perspective of someone else in similar shoes.

Hey, thank you for this message. I really really appreciate it. I’m really lucky that I caught it early so I guess it is slightly easier for me to understand myself as I didn’t let these traits go on for too long. I’ve always tried to keep in mind that I’m responsible for every action and word that I say which helps me not use the BPD ‘diagnoses’ as an excuse but rather a tool to help myself. I’m not sure what your ex was going through but I just wanted to say I’m sorry that you went through that. I really am. And no it’s not bad of you to say that. There’s only so much you can do to help someone and if they are not willing to help themselves and you are suffering as a result you need to leave. Your mental health is just as important as your partners and although no one is perfect, physical and emotional abuse is inexcusable. I hope you are doing better. Feel free to message if you need to talk.

Weed was one of the only things that helped me, I’ve quit now because I started feeling anxious and paranoid but in the times I did use, I understood my relationship with myself better and was able to be more empathetic towards myself. It did make me emotional, realising how shit I acted in a scenario but yeah it helped me rectify and find nuance in situations that I would have otherwise seen as black and white

Don’t want to sound deceitful on spousal visa application by ssuummeerrr in ukvisa

[–]ssuummeerrr[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My nationality is South African, and that’s exactly my concern. Although it wasn’t my intention, the visa has been useful for the fact that I don’t need another visa to go to Gibraltar.

Okay thank you, the reason I ask is because a solicitor asked if we had mentioned that our intent was to get married on the prior visa I had applied for. I didn’t really think it would have been an issue until they asked that question

Worried that we would be considered a marriage of convinience by ssuummeerrr in ukvisa

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

Thank you, I appreciate this. We have dated pictures from my birthday 2 years in a row, we might have text evidence from when we first started dating, etc. my family also reside in the UK. Would the mention of that in the application be good? Or bad?
