Help! Thought I was over her !

After almost 2 years I thought I had moved on and was over my feelings for my HPD friend. After a while of no contact and a reconciliation that followed we've been friends again for over a year.
Getting along well but not quite as close as we used to be. Thought I was doing OK just being her friend.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that a co-worker of mine whom I am friends with has ...

BPD boyfriend of 4 yrs just stopped talking to me 2 mths ago

Hi friends,

My BPD boyfriend of 4 years has very suddenly decided to stop talking to me nearly 2 months ago. One day we were speaking on the phone normally, and then apparently the tone of my voice (perhaps, tired? sleepy?) set him off, he triggered and hung up the phone on me and when I called him back he told me that he was getting into one of his 'moods' and that he had ...
