Title: ex boyfriend with bpd traits Post by: slims on December 19, 2020, 03:24:21 PM i was in a long term relationship which became verbally abusive after a year and a half. my partner became completely disengaged sexually and would constantly blame me for it. but he would shift from abusing to trying to get my forgiveness and love. eventually i broke it off and left, realised i had made a mistake and when i tried to go back he stayed out all night with another woman and came home and attached me physically. its been six months since this happened and we've remained in constant contact with no more than 1 month apart ever. both of us initiate contact, and i thought things were getting more stable and today he said he decided we're going away for new years and he's invited a bunch of friends to my place in the country. i said its not right for him to make decisions like that without asking me and he turned cold and said he doesnt want to see me again. this behaviour is very common by now to me, i just need to know why its so difficult for me to break contact and realize that i need to finish this myself. i still want him back
