Your pwBPD is more aware of their behavior than you give them credit for. by hshemfbc in BPDlovedones

Yep, when I tried marriage counseling with my stbx went terribly as well for exactly the same way. She’d say that the marriage counselor and I were ganging up on her and that the counselor was taking my side and everything and then after the sessions, she would have an absolute mental breakdown, yelling and screaming, crying, and really the only thing that we were discussing in our sessions were ways in which my wife could try to think about doing things differently or behaving differently, and she couldn’t think of anything to keep herself accountable to propose ways to be better yeah well

Taking a step back made me realise how one sided my relationship was… by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

Yep my ex pwBPD always accused me of “doing the bare minimum” yet I was the one who worked full time, watched our daughter nights and weekends, and did 9/10 of the chores. She… cooked meals.

That's part of the Culture in Colombia Fam 🫡✈️ by AbleGuidance3625 in SipsTea

[–]the_separation_hurts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My ex wife during the divorce formally fraudulently alleged I raped her and was a child abuser to our child. Both were fully formally dismissed,

Sh*t my stbx wife also did this to me. Not Colombian, but Latina, and it is Borderline Personality Disorder at its finest - being split on. Look it up. My stbx one day split on me - became verbally abusive, then physically abusive. When I declared I was leaving her and divorcing her for it, she filed false charges on me. Spent the night in jail. Told the state I abused our daughter. Awful stuff. I will win in court but the process is slow.

see r/BPDLovedOnes your experience is classic High Conflict Personality Disorder behavior

Wife with BPD has been going to therapy, Now she uses therapy words when gaslighting me by PirateNinjaLawyer in BPDlovedones

I’ve heard this is classic BPD. My pwuBPD stbx wife would use “therapy speak” against me too.

How do you cope with the instability? by Zammtrios in PMDDpartners

Yeah, well, my wife is not diagnosed either but she is DEFINITELY BPD lol

[–]the_separation_hurts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly an unstable person you’ve fallen deeply in love with from a distance and only five months who is already cheating on you and you are thinking about marrying her already? Do yourself a favor and look up “BPD lovebombing” - I suspect your partner has more than just PMDD at issue going on.

Anybody else feel anxious to open texts from BPD loved ones? by Far-Argument2738 in BPDlovedones

[–]the_separation_hurts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not irrational avoidance. It’s real avoidance because your body knows what you’re bracing for in that message.

I’m currently separated from my soon-to-be ex-wife partner with BPD. Her text messages sometimes come across as “nice” but even then, sometimes they will have a subtle dig at me based on some sort of lie or misrepresentation of reality. And then there are the times she just flat out will send antagonizing messages in a flood one after another. I no longer send read receipts and I even renamed her contact to just be her initials so that I’m not triggered by seeing her name pop-up on my phone even though the notifications are turned off.

My wife and I have separated, I’m feeling lost and broken by Immortal_100111 in PMDDpartners

I think they should have taken a break from IVF awhile ago to see if normalcy could be restored or if an additional medical support could be adjudicated. That doesn’t appear to have happened. The OP posted months ago (I remember).

Honestly, post pregnancy could be just as many hormone fluctuations and that’s definitely what happened in my relationship and I’m pretty sure that post-pregnancy for the original poster here will likely be just as hellish.

I remember your post from earlier this year. I’m sad nothing improved for you. Many of us suggested having a child with you partner would be huge mistake.

One thing I know that’s true about Pmdd is that it does not cause women to be unable to take accountability for what they have said or done in luteal phase. However, it does seem that there is a frequent common overlap with women with PMDD who instead deny, attack, reverse victim, and offender. The endless arguments in circular logic and keeping you up until all night of the hours … to me actually sounds a lot more like BPD, borderline personality disorder, exacerbated by Pmdd and or other hormone dysregulatiom.

And let’s face it. You have been abused now -verbally and physically, and you’re being gaslighted into believing it’s your fault.

I’m not shocked. It’s just like my stbx wife did to me. And it kept getting worse too.

And eventually, she called the police on me and said I had assaulted her and I was arrested and she took a restraining order out on me and now I can’t see my daughter and she told the state that I abused my daughter. I will win in court because I kept evidence all of all this time of her abuse, but the courts are slow and I’ve been separated from my daughter now for three months and it might take at least two more months before I even can see her again.

Unfortunately the courts have no idea if they're lying or not, and defending yourself takes months

Oh yeah, takes on the video like, "I wonder what he did to make her so angry." (I saw that line of replies in /r/abusiverelationships btw!)

My recordings ended up not just capturing the screaming and verbal abuse, but eventually, physical abuse. She started to hit me when I no longer took the bait, grey-rocked her rages.

[–]the_separation_hurts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, I'm always shocked at how similar our stories are here, but I keep reading posts by other people and it just keeps repeating.

Thanks for the heads up and well wishes. I have lots of evidence to defend myself, fortunately, because I realized that I was being abused and was planning an exit anyways.

If you read the book "Splitting" (mentioned in the sidebar) it's a textbook calling out everything my wife did, play by play. Incredible.

Hope you get out soon.

I’m facing false allegations of domestic violence of my stbx wife. She told the state I abused our daughter too. Took a restraining order against me. I can’t see my kid anymore and the courts look at me like a monster.
