Title: Dependent Personality Disorder?
Post by: MyLifeIsNow on April 22, 2019, 05:43:48 PM
I recently read about Dependent Personality Disorder, and I'm wondering if that's why I haven't been able to bring myself to leave my bad marriage with my DBPDW. Sometimes I get so anxious when she's gone to visit her parents, I get physically ill. It's hard to understand because most of the time when she's gone I'm actually happy for a break and some peace. I'm hoping that I'm onto something and can figure out how to build myself up so that I can withstand being alone. I really do think I deserve a better relationship. For the last ten years, one minute I'm amazing, the next minute I'm the devil. I'm tired of the whiplash.

one example of a relationship with Dependent Personality Disorder might be a slave/master relationship.

i think any of us who have left struggle mightily with that decision for a multitude of different reasons. fear of being alone is sometimes one of them.

whats going on in your marriage right now?
