So I finally broke up with her (diagnosed "quiet" BPD) last night after being treated like a stranger for a month (probably I was split black for reasons she didn't know or didn't want to tell me. a new guy is also a possibility). So in a way she broke up with me first, emotionally, and I was just making it official. I was hoping for a sorry look, or at least a hint of sadness. Instead she acted all cold and tough, and after I finished my say she just smiled bitterly and said almost condescendingly along the lines of "see? I told you this would be difficult (relationship with her). all these times I thought you'd get it (referring to her BPD). but it's OK."
I know this is my ego speaking but that reaction kinda got me down. I wasn't expecting her to cry or anything but at least a tiny bit of sympathy or empathy for my sacrifices and patience all these times. Doesn't have to be in words either, her eyes showing that would have been enough. And feeling unappreciated was definitely my biggest disappointment during the relationship. But I should know better than expecting those kinda things from a borderline, no?
