It is turning a bit cruel. I think the title should have been sad and strange stories.
For me if I cant step back and have a giggle every so often I do get consumed by the events that have happened and undoubtably will happen again in the future.

Here's a good one from my DH's uBPDew. She got really upset that he didn't tell her he was engaged. She, however, got married twice AND allowed SS18 to meet and hang out with his bio dad (DH adopted him). So, it's okay for her . . .

Just a couple off the top of my head-
2 excuses my wife uses to not leave the house... .
Anxiety that I will look at someone who is more attractive,
and not having any clothes to wear
In my opinion she has plenty of clothes but I understand women view
this different than men... .so I never make an issue of it
So she hits me with this clothes complaint, money was tight that week,
but the next week I laid $400 on the table and asked if that was enough.
With a str8 face she said "it doesn't matter, I don't have any clothes to wear
to go out and buy new clothes"
In 12 yrs my wife has seen me look at another womans butt once, just once.
I have been paying for that ever since... .but,
Soon after that incident she visited her parents in another state... .hooked up
with an old friend, made out, (kissing and petting, or so she says that's all that happened)
She told me this 9 yrs after the fact. Also told me it was my fault for not going on the trip
with her, and I should feel lucky she didn't go all the way.
And what I did was worse because she believed I wanted the girl I stared at,
she didn't want that guy. I was pretty much stunned and the only thing I could
come up with at the time was-
Are you saying instead of it's ok to look but don't touch,
It's ok to touch,
but don't look !
You're trying to make sense of a disordered person's logic. Good luck with that.

Hi guys and thread starter Aussie JJ,
Sorry for copy and pasting, I just replied to another topic which was:
":)id you have any phrases in your head when you broke up", but because I find it so funny personally, thought I'll just copy and paste it here too :-)
Hello Everyone,
For me it was an answer I got when I questioned my exdBPD about a photo
She was at the movies at 2am in the morning, and one of her old male "friends" took a picture of her, looking all starry eyed and glowing.
I asked her, how can she look at him the same way she looks at me? After a short pause she said " Because I was thinking about you" HAHHAHAHA
Still makes me laugh every time I think of it!

My BPDGF does volunteer for a advocacy group for abused women. The woman who runs the program has a name that in another language translates to the name of a flower. I had met her one time briefly at the door when I took my gf there to drop something off. My daughter was living with me, and one time when I shopped for groceries and things that we needed around the house, I picked up a bottle of body wash. The scent was plum blossom as well as the name of the flower that the woman was named after. I bought it for my daughter. When my gf saw it at my house she accused me of buying only because I have a secret thing for the woman. She raged with jealousy.
Another story. She avoided going out with her friends after we were together, justifying to me that she wants us to spend all the time we can together. She was invited by friends to a ladies night out one evening and I convinced her that it would be great for her. There were several ladies there whom she knew, and a few she had not met before. I had briefly met maybe 2 or 3 of the ladies. One of the girls whom she had just met had a the same ring tone on her phone that my new phone that I just bought had on it. Apparently, this girl received several texts throughout the eve, and my gf was certain that she and I had something going on, because we both had the same ring tone. She believed that this girl and I were flirting back and forth via text message, behind my gf's back. To this day, I have never met this woman nor do I even know what she looks like. I don't even know so much as her name.

Okay, here's my sad and/or strange story... .ex BPD bf invited me to his nephews wedding. It was Labor Day Weekend in another state. Also was anniversary (2 years) of the day we reconnected/started seeing one another. We knew one another 30 years prior in High school. He invited me to the wedding back in June. I bought a dress, shoes, etc AND booked a hotel room on my cc for the entire weekend. I was soo excited to finally be meeting his family (sisters).
Three days prior I asked what time we are leaving to drive to RI. He replies, "oh, sorry babe, there are NO "dates" allowed!" I was like, what? Did you read the invitation incorrectly? Did you tell your sister you already invited me? "Yeah, I tried, she said no. I told her I might need her to call you and tell you herself, sorry!"
He then proceeded to take off for the entire holiday weekend. I was able to cancel the hotel room luckily w no cancellation charge. The "story" I got at the time was my ex BPD bf was going with his "other" sister and her "boyfriend" and staying at her house. Hmm... .gee, "thought there were no dates allowed?" "Oh, well they've been together for 2 years!" Guess what... .remember what I said before (up above) it was "our" 2 year anniversary! Really crazy.
So here I am alone with no plans for Labor Day Weekend. I honestly think that was my ex BPD bf's plan/intention all along. My friend (platonic) called on Saturday to say his plans fell thru as well. So we decided to meet for dinner. Meanwhile my ex BPD bf is texting me photo's from the wedding... .him and a woman in the pic, saying its his sister. He has 5 sisters, I only met the sister he lives with, so how do I know, right? I also had 3 missed calls and a voicemail.
We didn't have cell reception in the restaurant. My ex BPD bf knows the restaurant and the issue w no cell service inside. It took me an hour to respond to his text and VM. At the time I was like, oh well, serves him right for ditching me. Also, background... .I didn't know at the time he had BPD. He didn't tell me until we broke up a few months ago. I finally called him back and he was questioning "why" I was out at dinner, "who" was I with... .that he "assumed" I'd stay in for the weekend! I was like, are you kidding me? You ditch, hurt and upset me by inviting me to a family wedding that I was looking forward to, then un-inviting me at the last minute, and expect me to stay home alone all weekend? I was so angry at him at the time. But of course now that I know about BPD (and his cheating) I see the entire situation so differently!
