Hi Stronger!

I'm sure it's difficult to be left hanging, not knowing what someone else wants or intends to do. Sadly, when dealing with a pwBPD, that's what sometimes happens.Who knows what he will do, you can only control what you do!

So, let's turn the focus to you.

What do you want to happen?

Are you willing to take him back after he's been with someone else?

What have you been doing to make yourself stronger in his absence?

What would be different if you took him back?

Best Wishes,

Val78

i know how you feel and i think you did do the right thing.

its so hard loving them and standing up to them

its something all here most do

ive found over the years that if i let her know im hurting she stays gone longer, at times her thinking ive moved on brings her running back but not always you really can never tell what they will do.

my exBPDg/f is just now starting to talk to me again after 20 and half months apart and 30 days n/c

im just learning about all this been with her 6 years but just got a name for this a year ago and was lucky and found this place about a month ago.

i want my ex but have be sure shes geting help this time

its a crazy dance noway to tell when the music will just stop.

God willing ill be able to work this all out and protect myself at sametime
