Title: Need input Post by: Frankee on October 02, 2017, 11:58:23 AM If my SO says he hates life, don't know what he was thinking starting a family, should of stayed running his MC Club, wishes he had been killed in combat... would it be patronizing if I told him I'm glad here's, that he picked me to be in his life (even though I don't really feel that way at the moment). He went on a rage last night and said some pretty cruel things. Even refused to let me sleep until he was ready. I'm mad as hell. Part of me wants to tell him to prevent further break and part of me wants to give him the cold shoulder. I want our relationship to work, but it doesn't change how I'm feeling right now.
I forgot. He thinks that I would fall apart without him. He just asked me to pay the Netflix, I asked for the card information and his reply was never mind. How hard is it to type in a card number and hit save. He wants it, but is inconvenienced to be the one to input the information.

He feels sad and depressed and like life is worthless. Just validate how sad that must feel and maybe share a time, not related to him, when you felt sad and that things were hopeless. You don't have to fix it without him asking for it. Maybe ask how you can help, but if he says there's nothing to be done, remember it's not personal or anything against you. He is depressed.
When someone is depressed like that, the simplest tasks can seem overwhelming and inconveniences turn into big issues. Title: Re: Need input Post by: Mutt on October 03, 2017, 06:03:14 PM Hi Frankee,
*welcome* Excerpt If my SO says he hates life, don't know what he was thinking starting a family, should of stayed running his MC Club, wishes he had been killed in combat... It has to be hard to watch someone that you wallow in self pity, it can be easier said that done but try to validate his feelings, although stay in the line of fire if he's raging, try to change the tempo by going out and raking the leaves or run an errand etc... Title: Re: Need input Post by: Frankee on October 05, 2017, 02:26:27 PM He confuses me. I validated and he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about. It's almost as if he was acting like I was talking to someone else. Doesn't surprise me though. There have been times where he seems to lose fraction of times. I would bring up things we had talked about and he got frustrated because he wouldn't know what I was talking about. These times have me worry. I remember thinking at the time that this person I am talking to isn't him. The look he gets in his eyes, his demeanor will change. Some time when he really rages or is really low, it's like he's checked out, but still there. He'll have conversations, but he feels different. I pretty summed it up to BPD. When he told me he has a fractured part of him that saved him from some really bad times of severe abuse. I feel that this fractured part of him almost makes an appearance every now and then. I can't otherwise explain the more than once gap in his memories.
