Doing well without my crazy EX

Hi all.
I haven't posted here in a while but I wasn't much of a poster anyway. I haven't had any visual/audio contact with my BPD-ex for about a year and 2 months. Above 10 months ago it was a few emails. I'm currently dating a wonderful woman for about 7 months now and we haven't had a single fight yet. She's a bit messy and so am I on occasion. I remember with my BPD ex, I used to make a little mess or drop something and she got so angry. Now, with my new partner, we just laugh about the mess we make or anything really :P My ex-BPD used to elbow me on occasion when I upset her, my new gf wouldn't want to hurt me in the slightest. She never gets angry at me, and I don't with her, but sometimes I can feel as though old habits have rubbed off me from my BPD-ex and I can feel some anger. However, I just examine the situation and I'm like, "who cares!"
I sometimes think of my BPD-ex and want to tell her to piss off and that she's a joke. I recently got my half of the deposit back from the landlord at the last place we shared, that I left in good faith for her. You know, cause I'm a sucker, or was, hopefully. I found out she left ages ago with her new boyfriend and the landlord gave her my cheque. So I got him to cancel it and send a new one. He's a bit of an airhead but eh. She's probably keeping it and waiting for me to call or some nonsense so she can feel powerful over me or perhaps try get me back. After all I did for her, she still has no decency or mutual respect. I pray from her new boyfriend's soul.
Anyway, things are looking amazing and never expected such a loving relationship could exist. My best advice is to go no contact. BPD peeps thrive on drama and life is pretty good without it.
Peace!
