hello all.

im needing some advice or insight to my situation with my BPD girlfriend (im actually not sure if shes still my girlfriend or not... .)

weve been together for about 9 months now, always been a volatile relationship. arguments sometimes, but with patience on my part, we always worked out.

to be honest, theres been lots of times when she was just too much for me, and id dump her, only for her to be calling me the very next day saying 'have you calmed down yet?' in fact, we would have lots of fights, and each time shed be calling and texting until i took her back. and if i didnt answer her calls or texts, shed bang on my bedroom window when she got off work!

she always said that id never be able to get rid of her!   Smiling (click to insert in post)

shes always been very clingy, calling me from her job every few hours to ask where i was. i was okay with it. she spent every free hour with me. i loved the attention. i could tell it was a more obsessive love she had, like, "we're together, and thats final" (she actually told this to me once!)

when i first met her, she was a total party girl, and as we spent more time together, shes calmed down, and i was happy with where things were going.

last monday, we were out drinking (alot) and we had an argument. i was really mad that she didnt seem to care about my feelings on the situation, so i decided to leave. she then became very violent and started biting me and scratching at my face. the police were called, and she was arrested.

for about 5 days i hated her! i cut her off and didnt contact her.

she didnt contact me either.

normally when wed have fights that were really bad, shed call the next day crying and id forgive her. but this time neither of us called.

then after i calmed down (yesterday) i gave her a call. nothing.

my number wasnt blocked like she normally does when we have a fight, but no answer either.

i left a voicemail that im sorry and i miss her terribly.

nothing still.

later in the evening when i knew she was at work, i sent her a text that i miss her and to please call me. again nothing.

i dont know what this means. its been a week since ive heard from her.

i know shes keeping tabs on my instagram, so what gives?

i also know that she thinks im the one who called the cops on her. she would think like that.

*have i been discarded?

*why isnt my number blocked if she doesnt want to talk to me like shed normally do?

*what do i do?

id appreciate any help. thanks.

Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry to hear of your anguish. I would suggest you take the time to read the information on this website and read the forum in detail to understand what you're up against here.

Maybe then you can reconsider your position and think about why you would want to go back into an unhealthy relationship. Take your time and read as much as you can, as soon as you can and see how it relates to your own situation. It helped me immensely.

I can answer all of your questions as per my views but you wont like my answers - they're not the ones you want to hear right now so I will keep my opinions to myself. Trying to understand the motives of a person with BPD will cause you further anguish.

This might be a good time to stop, take a deep breath and do some serious thinking. What you might think about is what you want from your life and if this type of relationship is for you. Nobody knowingly chooses this type of relationship - they just find themselves in it unwittingly and then they have all sorts of issues to deal with. Right now, you have a "get out of jail free" card - you won't get many of those so it would be a shame to waste it.

I know it's a bit of a delayed response but welcome to the forum!  I'm sorry for the drama.

Aussie's questions of why you'd want to go back into the relationship are valid.  My xBPDgf was a nutjob, but she was also very slick at manipulating and making me feel like a king by just pouring constant attention and fawning over me.  The idealize/devaluing cycle.  Combine it with lots and lots of porn star style sex and it kept me hooked for a long time.

As for her not responding, it could be a number of things:

-She could be trying to turn the tables on you rejection wise.  It is a game they play.  It's part of the idealize/devalue cycle.  Lots of attention, then none.  Then lots.  Then none. 

-If she was arrested for DV, then she might be under a no contact order from the court as a condition of getting out on bond.  If she calls or comes near you, it might be a violation of her bond conditions and could get her thrown back in the slammer.

-If she really is BPD, then usually they always paint their partners black and then in their eyes, you are the devil made flesh forever.  After an event like this, you could be there with her.

I won't tell you whether you should or should not continue to pursue the relationship, but I will say that if you are still trying to contact her, then stop.  You've reached out, time to let it sit.  If you hear back from her, I'd advise to not dive back in too quick or deep, but instead look for signs of growth.  It sounds like she could really use some counseling for a start.  And usually with DV arrests, there are programs you get enrolled in as part of the sentence or diversion program you get sent to (don't ask how I know but let's just say it's extremely common for guys mixed up with BPD women to end up with false DV arrests). 

Take it slow, be patient, see how things progress, and in the meantime find something else to occupy yourself.  Gym, hanging with friends, etc.  Don't sit around and let yourself ruminate about her.
