Title: weird conversation with ex BPD
Post by: Marshmellow on February 09, 2016, 12:55:18 AM
hi all!

Ex BF BPD/NPD recently wanted to talk, not text as we have done mos past. It was a lot of drama beforehand, setting a specific time, then changing that time, being " exuberant"  and excited to " catch up"... .This texting and drama went on for hours, when I thought , Oh boy! here we go again... nothing can be simple! I suggested another time, when I quickly recieved a call. When we did speak, his mood had changed drastically... was very negative... he sounded polite at first, then I quickly picked up an angry tone lying beneath the surface of " nicety". He was trying I could tell to be in his best behavior, but started making interjections I used to make ABt him, and his Jekyll Hyde behavior, referring to his boss. He slipped in a few underhanded comments when I cut the convo short and had to go, with him asking if we could talk the next week too? I never answered but wished him a good week. I tried to be upbeat and told him how well things were going with me. He made no comment... I got off the phone feeling nothing but pity for him...

Have others experienced this with their ex? I felt he wanted to start a fight, but I stayed in course and didn't take the bait...

Good for you for staying centered, though sorry that you had to endure such an invalidating conversation. When he wants to talk the next time, will you?

Sounds painful.

It sounds like this only re affirmed why you left.  Maybe you can take solace in that.
