News of Significant Others, Family & Friends Forum

Hi, I’m a newbie to this forum from the UK (I’m in my early 50s and currently single) and I’d like to share with you the story of my past few months of being rather painfully drawn into a ‘relationship’ with an HPD lady.

The story actually goes back to May of last year. I commute daily into London from ...

Hello all, I am new to this forum and purposely surfed the web for some form of help.
I have had a friend whom I've known for 12 years but just recently it has come to an end. I am not sure if she's narcissistic behaviour but a lot of what she's done, seems to point to it.
Last Saturday, this friend (I'll call her El, not her real name), updated her status on Facebook ...

So I had met this beautiful charming girl at a mutual friend’s wedding. We had a great time and long story short we got dunk and hooked up. The catch is I was living in Philadelphia and she was in Orange County, California and on top of that I was in a relationship is a manic depressive bipolar who was heavily medicated. I was thinking about ...

My wife and I are currently separated for 1 month now. She has been diagnosed by a therapist of having HPD (Histrionic Personality Disorder). We had been seeing a therapist and wife left before therapist presented this diagnosis.

She does not acknowledge that anything is wrong with her nor does she know diagnosis as I do not feel I should be person to tell her.We have been married 3 years and I did not know ...

First post out of desperation, my husband has been trying to end his affair for the past 4 months. Unsuccessfully. It seems his pendulum swings from day to day. He tells us (mistress n wife) he wants to end it with the other but everytime he tries, he cant do it. If either of us runs out of patience n tries to leave he pulls us both back. I feel his words only ring true ...

I have heard a lot of people say that you should have no contact with your ex N and you should delete their number.

I agree that no contact is good, but sometimes this is not possible and also it can be easy to fall back into old habits and call them when times are tough or be sucked back in. So I suggest keeping their number in your phone and here is why:

Change ...

My H has BPD, and I've been going to a T.

After a few sessions of telling my T about H's family, my T surprised me and said, "Well, you do realize that your MIL has NPD." I was shocked. We both completely agreed that my FIL likely has BPD (like my H), but I never would have guessed that my MIL has NPD.

She's a likeable person, adored by her own adult children and ...

My H has BPD, but has not been told by his T.

H believes that the world is targetting him in some way. He'll list several rather minor hiccups together and say that it's a Perfect Storm. These hiccups are things that everyone faces everyday...traffic, lines in the store, somebody misunderstanding what you've said, dropping your phone in the car and having to look for it, etc.

It's gotten to the point that he can ...

Hello everyone,

I'm so confused and hurt. I've been in an on again, off again relationship with a man for 1.5 years. While obviously I am not qualified to diagnose, I suspect he may have NPD. He doesn't seem to have all traits, but several, including:

Lying, about absolutely everything.
Envy. I am punished (he stops talking to me) if I ever share good news with him, so I just don't.
Bragging.
Extreme competitiveness with ...

At this point, I am very nearly positive my ex-boyfriend is HPD, and I'll admit, he frightens me. I won't cover our long, long, LONG past of bull... because you all know. These people follow a very frightening pattern, and it is insanely horrifying to me that they can be so convincing in their "I'm sorry"s and "I love You, I'll never do it again"s. I just need to know, what can I do to ...
