Other than the legalities of adultery, we have not even begun signing any documents and she cannot legally divorce for another 7 months. Lo and behold, I did a bad and checked her FB account and she is official with a guy despite our marriage!

I am assuming this is an act of desperation. She owes me quite a bit on this lease as well, which is will strongly pursue going forwards without remorse.

Hi roses-

Yes, that specific form of desperation for borderlines, to establish an attachment to make them feel "whole" and "complete", since they don't have a fully formed self of their own.

You sound a little angry, which is normal and healthy; how is your detachment going right now?

I am more in shock than angry. Shocked that her parents are OK with her getting in a relationship a few months after living with me whilst married. I know her mom never liked me (I think she hates all boyfriends of hers) but I still find it shocking for her to quickly replace whilst married.

I was thinking she would be in too much suffering from the split with me to attach but apparently not... .

on the contrary, it may be that this is how she has chosen to cope - an alternative to feeling the suffering.

careful. i dont know the details here, but i encourage you to stay grounded and not react or fight fire with fire.

this sucks, and you are understandably shocked, i would be too. hang in there. we are here to support you during this difficult time.

I am keeping my cool. Right now I am trying to figure out where I can move to so she doesn't know where I live once my lease is up. No point in waiting for someone unmedicated when she clearly cannot understand the meaning of marriage. I have to focus on my career as right now I am working at a much lower-level job than I am capable of.

It's going to be hard for her to recycle as my lease is up in less than two months. She also knows this so I was half-expecting her to reachout. Now, knowing that she has been seeing a new guy while separated, I will probably never see her again.

Man i completely understand what your going through. My wife wanted to "seperate" with the only intention of working on our marriage which didnt make sense to me. But i said ok. She was still in co tact with me everyday telling me she loved me. 3 weeks later put her ring back on and slept next to me. Kissing me the whole 9.

Something was fishy and i thougjt she was seeing someone else the whole time. A month in, after i find out the truth. She blows up freaks out after i confront her. And makes her new relationship face book official. Claims it wasnt an affair because we were seperated. My soon to be ex wife is crazy... .but knowing that did t take the sting out.

I read an article the other day and maybe it will help you. But its about how someone with BPD will usually find a "downgrade" for numerous reasons.

To be honest your better off. Dodged a bullit. Your almost out of the wake of her destruction. In my case getting the divorced filed as soon as possible gave me a sense of relief. I actually filed all the paper work yesterday( doing it all my self no lawyer) just to get the process going

She was still in co tact with me everyday telling me she loved me. 3 weeks later put her ring back on and slept next to me. Kissing me the whole 9.

In my case, she never asked for the ring back. She admitted that she was the aggressor but still it seems like I am being unfairly prosecuted in this situation. Her ring is worthless if she intends to divorce me in a few months. She claims she sold a previous ring she bought for $100 for $2 for the gems and threw the rest of the ring into the garbage?

She did leave but in our talks insisted that we wouldn't be having any kids. I guess I should have realized that the mixed signals at the time were lies because she had taken steps to close our Internet account. I trusted that she would calm down and her parents would accept our long courtship but they did not. Apparently they thought I was never good enough for her, she used to say. That was the eternal optimist in me not being real at the time in an unreal situation. We have always gotten back together so this time is a hard bullet to bite.

Something was fishy and i thougjt she was seeing someone else the whole time. A month in, after i find out the truth. She blows up freaks out after i confront her. And makes her new relationship face book official. Claims it wasnt an affair because we were seperated. My soon to be ex wife is crazy... .but knowing that did t take the sting out.

She had already started getting angry at me days before this situation and went on a trip with her family. I don't know if it was the disorder to be at fault, but she was getting angry for very slight inconveniences. (ie. I needed to go to bed and asked her to keep the noise down) It was strange at how quickly she seemed to find someone knew after this. Marriage is a whole new level compared to boyfriend/girlfriend to me and to her, it seemed like a meaningless title/pledge.

I think the new guy is big on exercise and her parents approve of his heritage (same as her mother's), so that's very convenient. He also lives in the same town as her parents and speaks their language, but it seems like his English is very broken? I don't understand it, really.

I cannot wait to be out of this town. It was fantastic until the split and now it has become a nightmare.

It seems like she had already started dating the replacement before she had filed the divorce papers but made it official-official a week after I had received the papers. How can a marriage or relationship last in that kind of condition?

A marriage cant in my case cant survive. Im starting to gain acceptance. Of the situation. But first i had to accept the person i was in love with didnt exist. She has this disorder and it isnt getting better. Gaining the acceptance of the "lost dreams" that probably would have been miserable anyway. As the fog (fear obligation guilt) started to lift i could start to see things for what they were. Any good memory i had with her she was miserable.

And you dont have it twisted she does. Marriage is a big commitment, your right its not boyfriend girlfriend. You had it right. She didnt. Dont let thay nonsence afgect you. Thats not your stuff

Now started the time where i had to look at myself. Because i thought i caused this. And its true, but not even close to the ways i originally thought. Not in the ways of her projecting her behaivior onto me. Not in becoming "distant" not in "abondoning her". But in the ways of her super validation and why i needed it. In the ways of why i needed to be a "knight in shining armour" to begin with. Or how i had felt guiltt if i was hapy and she wasnt.

Your journey to something better starts now even if you dont want to hear that. Because i know thats not what i wanted to hear a week ago today. It might not be what i want to hear in an hour. But i know it to be true, and hopefully soon you will to.
