what makes you think I haven't invested anything in myself? just because I don't share what I've shared with my own counselor? But I'm done asking, I'll just put her out with the trash wednesday since you say she's no good anymore. thanks.

The only thing I'm wondering about is how can a person learn from a relationship when their partner always runs far and fast when things are bad, or they use the person, and then they run far and fast?? If the behaviour is repeated and they are called on it each time, sure. But at some point...

Over the years I've written poetry/song lyrics to help me through tough times, and often when I feel a bit emotional. Watching my friend go through her ups and downs, and reading this forum made me wonder about some things. I've seen her mother ignore her, "the less I know the better", her...

You misunderstood what I was getting at. I'm trying to figure out what and how her mind is perceiving something she did, and you're turning it into a battle of wits. I didn't say that I was trying to prove that I was right. If I must elaborate, I will. There is a situation that had become part...

Are you aware of anyone blocking out events or situations in their life so completely that the sufferer actually believes it didn't exist, and will continually deny it with such conviction that you start to wonder if you made it up? I'm curious about this, because there's a situation where...

This past Sunday when I broke things off with her and confronted her about what she was doing, I extended my anger towards her friend of 25 years, who was with her that day. I wasn't out of control, but it wasn't pretty. After I got home, I sent him an email and told him how I felt about what...

thanks, yes, I've emailed her and said if she needs a friend I will be there for her without expectations. She's fairly new in town so she only knows her neighbors, and none of them know about her PTSD or bipolar (though they have seen her bouts of anger). I don't think she will ever talk to...

thank you, I don't feel like such a good person right now. It's still very hard to understand and even harder to get over. I talked to a counselor today and it helped a little but I still feel pretty devastated. I just don't get it....I'm usually the strong one and I get over things quickly...

I was blinded by my own ignorance, I do realize that now. She is a very convincing liar, so much so that I believe she convinced herself for a while that these things didn't happen. I'm almost wondering if she's also suffering from MPD, because I've seen very different sides to her over the past...

thanks. I always try to go into a new relationship with a clean slate, each new person is a new set of values. I wasn't perfect, but I tried and I think I gave her more credit than she deserves. I still try to see the good in people, even if they don't see it themselves. But you're...

thanks, I think I'm finally starting to get over the heartbreak and how I feel about what she has done. She has so many issues that it's tiring to remember all her problems right now. I really thought that the other problems were diminishing because she wasn't as argumentative and when she...

I stated in another thread that it was my last post, but felt I should post this because it is something very difficult for me to understand. An overall view of the relationship with my ex is this: we met, I fell for her, then learned she had PTSD, and with time, she is bipolar. We struggled...

I don't know. And right now I don't know how I feel. This will be my last post, thanks for everything.

No, I don't think I can fix her. She has to and wants to do that on her own, and I'm willing to stand by her and support her. She's not just my girlfriend, she is also my best friend, and I do know when to be a friend...that's no different from any other relationship I've been in. She has a...
