Title: hurting this morning
Post by: lind67 on September 14, 2016, 08:33:49 AM
This is hard, she is so mean and cold towards me, its like a light switch her mood goes horrible in no time and at the same time calling me mean and cold. It makes you wonder did this person ever love me and how can she be so dam mean, this is tearing me apart , I'm dying on the inside. I move out in two days but I don't want to leave and after all the abuse why would I want to stay, maybe something really is wrong with me?

im not sure there is something wrong with you for feeling this way.

my ex was never cold toward me until a couple of days after our relationship ended. at that point, like you describe, it was like a light switch, and she was making deliberate efforts to hurt me.

its very difficult to get your heart and head around how someone you felt uniquely close to, perhaps your best friend and soul mate, can suddenly feel like your worst enemy. its a psychological challenge on so many levels, completely surreal, and not contrary to our understanding of the world and relationships.

a hallmark of BPD is alternating extremes of idealization and devaluation within intimate relationships. it may manifest in different ways, from person to person, but its very hurtful to those that love them.

can you tell us a bit more about what is going on? it may help to take steps to deescalate conflict.
