for no reason she locked herself in her room for like 5 hours while her 3 year old and i watched a football game. there were plenty things before that, but after that i was pretty convinced she was completely nuts ( at the time i had no clue what BPD was)

My final straw was when my exgwBPD tried to to kick me out of her car at night 250 miles for my apartment in a city I had never been before. I had nothing to my name except for a dog who just had major abdominal surgery (she still had 40 staples in her stomach). My ex was kind enough to hang on to my keys, wallet, and money for the night. She had the nerve to get pissed off at me a few hours later when she gave me some flowers and I didn't say thank you. She accused me of treating the flowers like I treated her, like she didn't matter. I made my escape the next morning after her dose of Ambien,beer, and whiskey.

After being violent to my teenage son, my exBPDh moved out. That was the beginning of the end for me. I refused to let him move back in despite him begging me to let him for a few months. We did continue a relationship though. The final straw was when he texted me to say he wanted to end our relationship. I immediately filed for divorce, despite knowing deep down that if I just kept quiet for a few days he would change his mind and want to try again. So although he technically ended things, I feel that the reality is that I did. I guess being 'left' by him yet again, just tipped me over the edge and I didn't want him back at that time.

I haven't read up on this post for a while. It is good to see others people's "final straw"... . It just reminds me that I wasn't crazy but on my way to going crazy if I didn't have that "final straw".
