I knew of bi-polar but didn't really even know much about that, and I thought depression meant she just "got a bit down sometimes"
I googled Bipolar women and ended up here where I read some of the old classic threads about BPD and thought "this is exactly what my girlfriend is like"...
Two things
1. You don't know what you don't know
People don't go into a BPD relationship knowing what's going to happen, there are usually a ton of red flags but you may not know they are red flags and usually you are hooked before you know what's happening. Now you do know so going forward...
I have to be honest I don't understand it.
I'm all for being accountable and learning from ones own mistakes
But these guys would tell everyone even people who WERE with a girl with BPD, oh it's your fault she just had low interest, all women are like that it's just normal behaviour.
Imagine...
OK so 12.1% of people had bpd or npd as at 2008 (id wager that number has drifted slightly north since then but it's not citable so we will leave it at that.)
So without including only "traits" (which is probably MORE than those with full blown disorders, its more like 1 in 9 than 1 in 7.
I...
Are you a qualified psychotherapist? What are your credentials?
Here's the thing 6% are DIAGNOSED
It's much more common in young women than any other category group. You also have those who show significant "traits" of BPD but not enough for a diagnosis, however many of these are just as bad...
There's red flags that don't place the blame at OP's door.
Her asking to move in, then gapping 2 weeks later being just one. Normal women don't do that sort of ****.
Your main priority is your kids.
Stay away from this woman, block and delete everything, never let her back in again.
Time will heal, it'll take a few months. After this you won't make the mistake of going down the rabbit hole again.
In the meantime your kids come first.
1 in 7 women have it, while a greater number than that have at least "traits" of it or a similar personality disorder, something closer to 1 in 4
So if there's 100 men on sosuave who have dated an average of say 15 women each
1500 divided by 4
Statistics would say between us we have...

Infern0 senior was no doubt looking forwards to a succesful 5th decade to his life, after all everything was on the upswing.
One day however mrs Infern0 decided she wanted to get into foster caring, as she had heard the government was paying decent $$$ and she...
If she doesn't message you within 48 hours thats a real bad sign.
I don't tend to get into "rules" for texting as it can come off as game playing but I'd wait for her to text first then give it a few days and set up the next date.
If shes texting you heaps and clearly into you then no reason...
1. Raging doesn't usually happen until you are past the honeymoon phase and into devaluation. Then if you say no to her thats when it happens. Not all are Ragers though.
2. They belive most of what they are saying during love bombing because they think you can make them happy (basically that...
From what I've seen a history of self harm is the biggest red flag, look for cut marks on arms. I've dared a girl diagnosed with bpd and been friends and hooked up with another one also diagnosed and both were cutters.
Second is she moves WAY too fast and proclaims love for you far too early.
