Okay, so 15 years ago (I was 30, she was 20) I had a fast and furious relationship with "A", a couple of months into the relationship we moved in together, I ended up leaving her and the apt. for an ex-girlfriend all the way across the country (ive got BPD and other issues, being a jerk is one of them). When she found out I was leaving her, she carved/keyed in the hood of my car "Shes a whore" The relationship with ex "T" didnt work out either and I moved back to where "A" lives, "A" tried to renew the relationship with me, but I was so embarrassed (or something) I didnt, or couldnt do it. So, skip forward til March 2011, I get a facebook message from "A", a long one, talking about the past and talking about her current situation, she has developed very well, beautiful kid, professional career shes excited about, pretty independent etc.. We end up talking on the phone and somehow we become interested in each other again, we make plans to see each other, I go to her area and we spend 4 days together, we are intimate and we both say that it is awesome, there are are some small hints of uncomfortable, she talks about her last boyfriend and how he left her in a bar to go have a 3-way with some other girls, etc.. but they are still friends now. Anyway, at some point during those 4 days we started the "i love you's". I go back home and we text date constantly and continue to "i love you" several times a day. Well, a few months after seeing her and heavy amounts of I love yous, we started talking about kids, marriage, the whole nine yards, we start making plans for me to move to her area so that we can move forward in the relationship. Now its August, and out of the blue one weekend I get a grand total of 4 texts, a 1000% drop off, my first concern is that of are you okay? are you sick? being held hostage? but we had never defined the rules on how much was minimum texting, so I decided to talk to her on the phone and ask her. So, I guess I had made the mistake of assuming that we were exclusive, my mistake, because she was not on the same page, she said that she wanted to commit at some point, but that right now we needed to see each other again and then talk about expectations, exclusivity etc... well, I was not prepared for that conversation, or the feelings I was having, that conversation and those feelings have made me insecure and kicked in a full blown BPD episode and now I am fighting so hard not to smother her, we cancelled a date to see each other etc.. I am new to the diagnosis, and am still unsure how to tell when I am losing touch with reality, for example, I am having some thoughts maybe she has some BPD traits, but she is an lawyer, can lawyers have BPD? BPD has kept me from being able to even finish HS, let alone become a high functioning professional. The last status I got on our relationship was "I love you, the door is never all the way closed, but life wont stand still", what does that mean? hurry up and relocate to be where I can see her? I am confused and am desperate to try to know where this relationship stands.. BLARGH! helllllllp.
This girl tells me that she loves me more than anyone ever, peroid, but as of now we have no date to see each other, we still text, but dont talk, and we still do the i love you thing.. but no sexual exclusivity.. What is going on here? is that okay? someone tell me whats wrong with the picture (besides everything, lol).
Thanks!
