Hi all,
Haven't posted in a while because things have been going decently with my BPDgf. However I know that things are difficult for her with finances being tight. We went on a trip to Las Vegas and saw Pink in concert. It was a great trip but when she got home she started withdrawing and getting quiet (not texting as much and stopped playing the games we have on our phones). When I asked she stated "I'm fine, just been busy". I gave her space because I knew she was in a funk being jobless. then she started getting an attitude with me for being quiet. I was like wth! She was the one who said she was busy. I told her "look, your the one who said you were busy, so when you want to talk then talk until then I'm not playing games". She responded with a "see ya" but I have to give her props here, she restrained herself from barraging me with nasty texts that would have usually followed. So for the past 5 weeks things have been quiet, just little texts here and there. She did get the job offer she wanted and posted on FB that once she starts working she will be out of this funk. I know that we all deal with withdrawal, ignoring and avoidance here. I'm just venting and wanted support... . I miss her! Thank You for reading!

Sounds like things will improve once she has a paycheck again. Until then, we're here!
