Title: The pattern: overreaction, silent treatment, indifferent approach, regret, love Post by: SybilVane on June 17, 2015, 12:58:21 PM I realized a exact pattern of hoy my BPDbf uses to act and react.
It's always something stupid that increases to a bigger proportion and makes him ironic and start do devalue me (among a lot of accusations and insults, declarations of hate, declarations as 'I swear in front of my mother that I never want to see you anymore", start to accuse me of manipulating the situation. Then, he blocks me and disappear for a while; I use to wait before writing him an email and he answers in a friendly way telling 'i love you, but there's no future, be happy' When I finally say 'ok, goodbye", he returns and apologize for his 'overreactions that happen only because I love you so much" As I could see in this forum, this is a relatively common partner among BPD's. How about your partner? There's a vicious cycle or it's totally unstable and unpredictable?
