Hi

Does anybodys SO have different accents depending on whats going on. My wife will start an New Zealand accent due to being sent off on school holidays to relatives/family when she is gently consoling or explaining things lovingly to the children. A well refined posh accent when speaking to peers from work or stangers, normal accent to friends and this non desript monotone speach with me.

Sure there is
the normal voice
the kind voice
the rude voice
the annoyed voice
the shrieking banshee voice
the seducing voice
the whiny voice

and many more~
I just read this earlier: https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=142203.0 (why do pwBPD sometime speak with a childlike voice?)

I've got the feeling my pwBPD skillfully uses her accents according to the situation and well succeeds in getting what she wants.

My ex gf BPD will revert to a soft slow speaking Texan accent when speaking to her parents on her weekly telephone call to them from England. She will then speak with an English regional accent in another county where she lived for 15 years sometimes, with me she will speak with a mainly English accent which you cannot place it from a certain part of England itself

Maybe I confused something (accent) in my earlier post~
I've frequently heard her speaking in Gwangju (South-Korean province) dialect on phone, after she moved there about a year ago, although she is from Seoul and rarely ever been there much before.
I think she uses it to be friendly to people from there, or when there is something she wants to get.

The mainly English stern serious aggressive tone was saved for me unfortunately.

Im bilingual and my accent gets heavy when Im emotional, upset, tired or under the influence of alcohol. This is pretty basic stuff and Im far from the only one. Being that pwBPD spend a lot of time being emotional and/or upset I would think it normal IF they were bilingual. Ive also lived in 2 places in the US and I have slowly been adjusting to how english is spoken where I am now, but when I socialize with people from previous place I tend to go back to that dialect.

My DH's ex has been in the U.S. for 44 years and speaks and writes English very competently. My stepdaughter mentioned recently that her mother is adopting an accent and grammar as if she got off the boat last year. Baffling.
