Title: she cant look into my eyes
Post by: rich5a on August 30, 2013, 11:43:55 PM
my BPDgf can never look me in the eye... if I try and to engage eye contact she will deflect it,  either verbally... or she will close her eyes. while making love our eyes never connect. its frigtening... . the avoidance technique is so strong. she locks you out of her world. anyone experience this?

Yes. While making love mine ALWAYS had her eyes closed as if to say, "I am ready now - transport me to where I want to go" (if you know what I mean). I never liked it but in the devaluation stage, I realized I could have been anybody that was offering to take her to that place.

It sounds like yours is afraid that you will see into her soul. I can understand how off putting this is.

Aussie... lol... cool name.

Its true... I suppose it could be anyone. I am just an object ultimately. I am going to be persistent and ask her to look in my eyes... she instantly becomes uncomfortable. If I suceed... I am sure she will push away the next day.
