Title: Bpd and Rebound relationships Post by: Springle on September 04, 2014, 08:20:44 AM I'm typing this up on my phone so apologies for any dodgy spelling ha.
Was pondering this today, how does BPD manifest in rebound relationships? Especially in ones where they turn out to be someone else's rebound! For instance, my ex (a non) got into a relationship with a new girl (pwBPD) really quickly after we broke up, our relationship was serious so I did eye this with suspicion that this was a rebound for him; in his past he didn't stay single very long (despite what he would say I don't this he Is comfortable in his own company) and this girl was not his type at all! It was all very strange. Personally I feel like she fed off his vulnerable and emotional state at the time to secure herself a new victim. Strangely though she could have been in a sort of rebound stage herself. She had been trying oh so hard to get back with her ex husband for so long. We had been telling her it wasn't going to happen but she wouldn't have it. Her ex's best friend had recently moved away to another country, she blamed him a lot for their BU and additional problems but in reality he just refused to stand for her BS. She took advantage to cuddle up to her ex, he was moving abroad soon himself, but it failed. She was constantly painting him black then white and eventually forbade him to speak to her etc. I think another reason for her ensnaring my ex was to make her ex jealous as my ex and her ex are friends. So yes they are, in a way, both rebounds. How do BPD tend to handle this? Do they even acknowledge rebound relationships? |
