Title: Well, I feel peace now. Post by: No1important on March 03, 2017, 07:23:11 AM About two months ago I went NC with my exuBPDgf, or I thought so. I ran away without telling her, just cut her off, so it was more like a ghosting. Few minutes ago I have written to her with explanation why I have decided to do that, and I feel relieved. There was always that thought in the back of my mind "U did it in a wrong way". And now it's gone. I feel like it was the key to really move on. So, let's say, Im NC day 1. but with some experience :D

What made you think she was unBPD? Did she try and contact during the ghost period? This seems like a very different approach then most. Title: Re: Well, I feel peace now.

Well, she replaced me, and has her honeymoon right now. But when I was trying to get closure she was still acting as she wanted to have me on backburner. We had our make up/break up cycle. Fears of abadonment, triangulating (she's with the guy now), self harming (cutting), admitting that she is broken, she's not a good gf etc., very low self-esteem, crazy jealousy, there was honeymoon as well as devaluation, expecting me to be 24/7 fo her, she got angry if I havent responded for like 1-2 (literally) minutes on facebook. During our break ups (she initiated), when I stopped chasing her, and just told her that's ok with me she instantly started to beg her to come back. I felt like walking on eggshells. Maybe she just have a traits, but still. And even it she is not BPD that relation was toxic. P.S. After this r/s, I'm aware that I have NPD traits aswell, and wasn't a saint either.

I'd say there is a good chance she has some of the traits associated with the "cluster B" personality. Did she have the black & white or all or nothing thinking? The 24/7 constant attention is so frustrating in these people. Title: Re: Well, I feel peace now.

But during our r/s when I started to be deavluated (havent realised that then) she admitted, that he wasn't that bad, and few. day later she told me that he contacted her (now I think it could be opposite) and soothed her when we had an argument. So I think that's an example of black/white painting. Onother example was her father, painted black as hell, she told me once he hit her a few times, and even when he wanted to be nice to her (brought her sweets/helped her with something), she always claimed that she doen't love him, and he's a jerk. All or nothing? I think that's the example: once when i felt our r/s is falling apart, I told her, that maybe we shuld have like a week break. Then she told me when if we do it now, we will never be together again. Title: Re: Well, I feel peace now.

You can't be the victim 100% of the time, any rational person knows this. It sad these people are so mentally ill and cannot look at themselves objectively. Title: Re: Well, I feel peace now.

It's funny that near the end she said we should go on a break (but it was always her way to detach and we had so many breaks of her desire after an argument). So I told her the exact same thing ":)on't expect us to go on a break and then in 1 week you come back." I wonder why I did that? Part of me thinks it was because this was the game we always played, and I for once wanted us to actually communicate through our problem instead of taking a break, pretending the argument never happened, only for it to still be below the surface. Maybe. I don't know. Just wanted to share that the statement she made was similar to mine. It made me think. Title: Re: Well, I feel peace now.

As long as you have no expectations from the message, you may have given her a gift by explaining. |
