Actually, I just witnessed the first signs that maybe she is BPD, but it was fascinating.It could just be getting older. Some of the guys here call it, 'hitting the wall' sometimes. Not necessarily maturing or growing up though. Past a certain age (puberty), it's pretty much impossible to truly change your personality.
So I date girls aged 3-5. Got it.
1) She reconnected with her dad who divorced her mom when she was 13 and it "sent her life into turmoil" (her mom booted her and she had to eventually (at age 20) become a stripper to survive).
2) She filed for divorce for a man she met at age 14, after she became homeless.
3) She reconnected with her friend from age 13, the one she "was in love with but hasn't had sex with".
4) She sent me the most precious photo - her at age 13 - with her original hair in a peekaboo, with white tights (not something you normally send someone you are dumping).
5) She started saying for the first time she didn't want to have sex on the next date (I took this the wrong way as most of us would, hence my stonewalling on her making me compromise).
6) She said she has reverted in her mind to age 13.
7) She lost her virginity at age 14.
I realized that (probably due to all the stress she is under as she is going through a divorce, changing careers, and relocating) she has reverted to the last days of her virginity! Perhaps all the guilt made her go back to the last time she was innocent!
What an amazing thing to witness, especially for a man who adores her as I do.
She is healing things at the root.
