Before you can make things better, you have to stop making them worse... Have you considered that being critical, judgmental, or invalidating toward the other parent, no matter what she or he just did will only make matters worse? Someone has to be do something. This means finding the motivation to stop making things worse, learning how to interrupt your own negative responses, body language, facial expressions, voice tone, and learning how to inhibit your urges to do things that you later realize are contributing to the tensions.

I've noticed something, the past couple of days my xBPD has suddenly become immensely more attractive to me. I can actually quantify it by looking at older photos from before things started going well and comparing them. I can go back one month, and then look at the new photos and I find her to look absolutely beautiful.

Whats going on? Is it humanly possible that she's doing something to make herself seem more attractive to me? Or is it a general thing? She's acting different with me as well, much more amiable, polite, even respectful. She even asked me how I was yesterday. She wants to talk, seems happier, isn't pushing me away anymore. Sure, it's not the obsessive stuff of the past. It's just plain nice.

Things are lifting up though, the number of texts is more. But I just can't get over how beautiful she looks.

Literally 10 days ago, she has a picture of her in a dress... .meh

today, a picture of her in her beauty outfit sitting on a chair smiling... .wowosh <3

I don't get it, its like what effort I put in I get out...

I really, really, really want a recycle! haha

Doesnt seem like its anything to do with BPD.

Just a good example of us wanting what we can't have/don't have.

Christoff... .

I think its more todo with how you feel and very little to do with her.

She might be in a relaxed position with no "punitive parent" in operation... .

But you know this won't last, just open your mouth the BPD will take what ever you say personally or look at it for more meaning and then negatively direct it at them selves.

Just remember maths 2 + 2 = some ones trying to get me... .

It won't last and then you are back to square one... .

Sucks I know!

She is luring you and maybe not just you back in. There is probably another party hurting right now.

You are a part of her tribe of attachements. She got bored with one now she needs a new play thing.

Thanks guys. Sometimes i guess we go crazy. I think you're all right. Its not focused on me, but she's simply happy right now and I can see that and i love that. Anyway, theres more to life than physical beauty.

I may love her, but i can't worship her. I need to continue to focus on moi.

What's happening is she's giving you positive reinforcement for a change, and you are translating that into increased hope which is letting your guard down as you start to seriously consider having a chance for a recycle.

10 days ago or w/e, you had little hope so your shields were up and you were more focused on the negatives.

Snap out of it, and go NC. You are only torturing yourself man

I saw the BPDx a few weeks ago for the firs time in a year a few weeks ago when picking up my daughter. She's put on a nice amount of weight and i couldnt be happier Smiling (click to insert in post)

If she was the violent psycho with me when she actually looked good, i can't imagine what the guy she's with now is going through with her getting fat Laugh out loud (click to insert in post).

They all seem to have weight problems. My ex is really skinny and actually gained weight during our r/s. Now it's over she lost a lot of weight and she looks like a skeleton Laugh out loud (click to insert in post)
