Title: 38 days of NC - trying to get my mojo back
Post by: hopealways on October 21, 2013, 11:17:21 PM
38 days ago I decided to finally stand up to her, tell her what was on my mind, she didn't like what she heard, she dished it out for over a year but couldn't take 10 minutes of it. I asked her to leave. Radio Silence since then.

We are all in the same boat, trust me I feel the pain daily but I try to stay positive.  What I miss the most is my Mojo.  Just this week I feel like it is slowly coming back.  People look at me with more of a twinkle in their eyes, girls do a double take again, I am starting to get my confidence slightly back.  Of course it gets better, I just need patience. We all do. 

Damn this BPD stuff, it really sucks.  I thought I was invincible when it came to women.  But I tell myself it is not the woman who did this, it is the disorder + my lack of love as a child that fell for the manipulations.

My friends, we can think about all the good times, all the memories, but life goes on.  To my female friends on this board: a real gentleman should treat you well like a lady deserves to be treated. You did not deserve this treatment by him-be glad that he is out of your life.  And to my male friends on this board: we are men and stronger and better than this disorder: let's gather our strengths and move forward.

Hope... .

The fact that... .

You asked her to leave... .

Considering what you experienced... .

Took bravery.

I commend you for that.

You will get your mojo back.

Your self reflection... .

And detection... .

Of the lack of self love... .

Is important.

Now you know... .

And are aware... .

Of what needs to be repaired.

Keep posting on here my friend.

You are very positive.

And that helps all of us.

Keep healing.

And stay in radio silence.

Like what you posted, hopealways.  Be grateful that your detour into a BPD r/s was thankfully brief relative to some of us (like me) who were mired in BPD marriages and relationships for extended periods (16 yrs. in my case).  I admire your resolve and understanding of the disorder.  That you can see a reason why you were drawn to a BPD r/s is also a positive.  I'm back on my path these days and am confident that you will get your Mojo back, too.  Lucky Jim

Thank you Ironmanfalls and Lucky Jim. Yes it took courage-it was hard to say those words to her, sometimes I regret it but it happened for a reason. If I had parted on friendly terms I could not have healed as well or as quickly.

Welcome.

A lesson in itself.
