Sounds about right. My ex seemed to be happier in photos I took of her when we first started dating 6 years ago than photos I have seen with her mother in the last 1-2 years. She absolutely refuses to have any photos taken of her now that she has gained tremendous weight from drinking. My last photo of her is from 1-2 years ago... as such.
I guess they eventually attach to someone despite how miserable it makes them? They definitely do not like to feel engulfed...
Yes, BP2 gets worse in time WITHOUT adequate medication... so that makes sense too.
Maybe it's just a fluke that we've noticed the same thing, but I cannot help but wonder if there's something in this. Thing is, when I look at photos we took together in May before he went home he looks great - relaxed, healthy, happy. Himself - or the person who I knew for those three years, at least. Now he looks like an entirely different person - and not happy at all.
I guess you could be right - they may just attach to anyone if the circumstances demand it?
You'd think I'd be happy to see him miserable, but I'm not. It also goes to show that there's A LOT more going on than what meets the eye in some of these situations.
