Back to sosuave, I thought I had a grasp of the game and things I learned from the forums. I was wrong.
The last 2 years have been an emotional rollercoaster for me, some extreme highs and very low lows.
Decided to share my story....
I dated a BPD single mother for 3 years on and off, the fallout was devasting to me once the dust settled. That relationship is a post all by itself, either way I got out for good and thought I was healing myself, esp once I found my current ex.
I went into the relationship somewhat hesitant , but she was everything I wanted, attractive, sexual, down for anything, just fun to be around. Ignored the red flags, no father in her life, left at a very young age, Mom into drugs, raised by her grandparents, list goes on. What'd I expect, the fvcked up thing is I knew this and was waiting for her to show her true colors but she never did, so I thought maybe it all didn't affect her.
I fell and then she moved across state, and we started long distance. I would see her once a month sometimes more, for about 8 months and then we found a place together and I moved, packed up and went with it. I wanted to have a future with her.
She was very loving, literally perfect girlfriend in the beginning. Then once we starting living together I noticed the change. Subtle distancing between us. Then she dropped the bomb on me....."I don't want to live together."
Fvcking crushed me! I couldn't believe it. All the talks about living together, the plans, so much went through my head and now it's gone. Now this is where things got extremely hard for me.
Her gf lives in the same city, well she got kicked out of her place and my ex moves her into our 1 bedroom apartment, so here I am sharing an apt with not only my ex but her bff, who I later find out is an escort.
I tried to stay out the house as much as possible and used headphones when I was there so I couldn't hear their convos, it was horrible.
I loved her a lot at one point and thiught she loved me too, this was our place, the whole experience didn't even seem real to me. Btw she's 22 and I'm 31, yet she came off as a 27 year old, at least she fooled me.
It gets better, I also work with her. Which is something I can't avoid at the moment due to rent at my new place.
I'm sure I have ptsd and trying to get a hold of myself. Having no friends nor family around isn't easy. But I am in LA, so that's a plus.
I just can't wrap my head around, the abrupt change of heart on her part. It was weird too because there wasn't even a negotiation like she made the decision and that was it. All the good memories wasted BS in my head. She kept saying she wanted to be together but just not live together, that we weren't ready, fvck that!
We got into a very heated argument that left me thinking she went full blown cluster b, some of things she said were extremely disrespectful and shocked me, but hurt mostly. I've gone NC now for about 3 weeks, aside from texts about money or rent topics. I still owe her first month rent that she fronted, but after all of this and how she's acted post breakup, I'm thinking of not even paying her. Thoughts?
