I spent 2.5 years with someone like this. I started smoking cigarettes again, chronically biting my nails, stopped working out, constant headaches, my hair was falling out. I just did not look or feel good anymore. I lost my motivation for everything. I am three months out now and I quit smoking, my nails are growing and my hair is growing back, I’m back at the gym and I have my motivation back again.

[@randalltyer5591]

Thank you. I am only about a month - 6 weeks removed from the BPD I was with. I have worked out my entire life and I am 54 yrs old. It was my best hobby. Meathead gyms were my safe space. Lol! A month after I met this person, I was walking on egg shells, started drinking ( secretly) again, was using and smoking weed, ( for those who do, I'm sorry it never was my thing!) And I was getting calls from my gym mates. ( " where you at? Ain't seen ya, worried about ya." ) I dropped the the weed a week before the breakup. The drinking and getting back in the gym has been a bit harder. Reading your comment gives me hope.

[@peacendukwe]

I am glad you are okay now never date someone like that again.

[@Sinclairstrange]

That's also me! I started smoking again because of the stress. At the time I thought it was work, but actually it the anxiety of her, that I couldn't carry her like I was. It's really weird when you leave that type of relationship, your eyes just open up.

[@KenFlo1000]

One month out. Drinking like a fish. Getting up at noon. No more exercising really, 3 times a week vs 10. I'm so dead. I cannot wait until I feel halfway alive again

[@Matt-tn6tu]

Going through a divorce now with a borderline. I feel bad for her. I begged her to stay and offered her anything I could to fix it. Ultimately she had already started moving on with other guys she told me. I was hurt for the first two weeks. I reached out to try to get closure or understanding and then she told me how I was so controlling, manipulative, immature, selfish, uncaring, ect. After that text I realized that she just was so unhinged at that point and realized that there isn’t anything anyone could have done to help her or save the marriage. I realized that either she or myself was actually not mentally well, and I think through therapy and talking with family and friends it’s safe to say I am a pretty stable person. After accepting the fact that she was gone and there was nothing I could do and the fact that everything became clear with the marriage and that I was innocent and she had been honestly abusing me for the past few years, I realized that I’m happier being alone now than I have been in years with her. I’ve been enjoying guitar and gym again. I’m not dreading every single day when I wake up. And the biggest difference is I don’t have extreme anxiety anymore that had been gradually getting worse over the last few years. I still care for her and hope she gets better mentally because there is a version of her that I adore, but I’ve been so much happier without her. Even family and friends have pointed out how they feel like they have me back and even more importantly I feel like I have me back again.

[@DeMarsCoaching]

I'm sorry for your loss and how your marriage ended. I appreciate your comment for telling people you got some help and love yourself again. Thanks Matt and good luck with future relationships.

[@GeistInTheMachine]

I can relate to this a lot. I feel for my ex, but the situation seems completely hopeless. You just can't have a stable relationship with a borderline. There's always a new crisis or problem. Always walking on eggshells. For what?

[@johto]

Indeed. It's like trying to rescue somebody from drowning but they trying to pull you under water. Lose lose situation. I knew i loved her, but that doesnt make things better by it self. Had to detach. Mental toll for both of us.

Hi David, great video. I particularly identified with the anger and rage part since my BPD was male. Terrifying! Only absolutely no contact helps you find yourself again.

[@DeMarsCoaching]

Hi Alexandra! The male borderline rage is so dangerous and stressful. Good for you to find peace.

[@ralphneptune9881]

Bpd male can be particularly dangerous. Take care of your self.

[@alexandraclemente-ue8qb]

hello ralph, thank you very much for your support and understanding. A big difference between female and male victims of BPD is that as a woman you have to fear not only for your mental health but also for your physical wellbeing. As a woman, you are always weaker than any man. The impact of fear of life is often forgotten in the discussion about victims of male BPD.

[@VixenTM]

Hey DeMars, great to see you still put so much efforts into these videos. After years of being free from such a relationship, I cannot emphasize more with that these relationships can kill. Not even only because of the stress but also because you give yourself and your lifestyle up for them. You workout less or eat less healthy. Losing friends because of smear campaigns or isolating can further increase that negative spiral. I still have issues with forgiving myself for ignoring the very obvious lovebombing and the gradual emotional abuse, but I should feel very relieved that despite the emotional damage and smear campaigns, I kept most of my friends and reputation long term, which I never expected during the unbearable breakup phase. I still feel that this isnt the end. I still do not feel completely safe on the streets. I dont know if its justified or paranoia. When I bump into her, you can feel her eyes burning through you. The disgust is clear. It feels like she wants to win, whatever that means to her, but is never satisfied.

[@DeMarsCoaching]

Thank you and I'm really sorry you are feeling this way. Talking to someone and telling our story is usually what is needed to heal.

[@rorywright5692]

Your brain does feel like confetti! Great thumbnail! Thanks, David! Ohio here!😎❤️

Hey Rory, thank you! Crazy making does make you feel crazy, I think the thumbnail is suitable too.

[@elizabethlyon2950]

So many times hearing “that didn’t happen. You are making that up. You are not the victim here”. And another favorite, the laundry list. I say I feel sad. He says, “how am I failing you? I give everything to you. I give everything to you, and you A, B, C, D, E, F, G”. How about the insane jealousy? “I can tell you want attention from that guy, or that guy, or that guy. You need attention from men. I have to be jealous because YOU don’t meet my needs when I want them met”….and my favorite, “your boyfriend from work, your boyfriend at the grocery store, your boyfriend on that gaming app, your boyfriend in another state”….”remember I have to be jealous because you won’t have physical intimacy with me after I brought out the laundry list of your faults, and called you horrible names. It’s proof you don’t love me” I have to leave you because YOU don’t love me……YOU don’t love me the WAY I love you. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? For years I thought it was my fault. I was doing something to cause all of this. I own my side of the street, now. I enabled the behavior by defending myself, trying to prove it wasn’t true, changing where I went, with who, when. It dropped to zero. I didn’t go anywhere or do anything because I had to prove I wasn’t what he said I was. It didn’t work. 🤔

[@DeMarsCoaching]

Im.sorry Elizabeth and yes its familiar. I hear this everyday and nobody can love aa borderline enough because they cannot love themselves. They must be priority over everything and you can never reassure them enough. A never ending hole that must be filled with more attention than you have time for. Most common... "You don't meet my needs" "You don't make me priority"

[@alexandraclemente-ue8qb]

Hi Elizabeth, I can so much relate to your experiance and this is one of my stories: because an acquaintance had said something thoughtless to him, back home my BPD-Ex tore my dress off my body in a rage, blocked my escape route, screamed at me for hours and called me terrible names. When he was finished he said he wanted to have sex with me while watching porn. When I said no, he said I wasn't interested in intimacy, that I was frigid and didn't love him. A BPD destroys your body, spirit and soul and you become your own worst enemy until you find the strength to leave and stay away.

[@hurricaneaquatics]

Thanks for the video, I can really relate to how you deliver these. I have experienced all these and then some. Sometimes you start to think you're going crazy and it's exhausting.

[@DeMarsCoaching]

I'm so sorry, tell your story.

[@hurricaneaquatics]

​@@DeMarsCoachingI would love to, but it would be a LONG post. Its been a hard road and your videos have helped tremendously. I hope to provide some points for you or the community that might help others. I was so confused for so long and beating my head on a wall.

[@brad8665]

⁠@@hurricaneaquatics same brother. Little over a few weeks of no contact and kicked her out feeling better and better every day. I was starting to go crazy. Had insane headaches and brain fog. It’s slowly going away. I actually went to my dr and told him that I’m having problems at home controlling my emotions/temper and started taking Prozac. Then I started to go even more crazy. Stopped taking that and kicked her out was the best two things I ever did. Still have my dog and cat to keep me company thankfully

[@heavysighs]

Thank you. I broke it off with my alcoholic BPD girlfriend 2 weeks ago. And although she beat me, gaslighted me, public humiliation, and finally cheating (because she swore I was so she did it preemptively). I’ve never been in any type of relationship, or even knew that BPD existed. After 7 months I got a front row seat. Of course I financed the whole thing. SO, why do I still want her back. Am I crazy? Is that what codependency is? This is all new to me.

[@DeMarsCoaching]

I'm sorry. Yes, you are describing an addiction. There is help with this.

[@heavysighs]

@@DeMarsCoaching Thank you. I know better now. Unfortunately I got emotionally attached quick. But what is weird, I felt I was the one pushing things fast. I wanted to save her. She wanted saving. Then BOOM! Out of nowhere there was wild trips, addiction’s, super highs and lows, violence and blood, police, all kind of crap. I’m luck I suppose because her mom and dad had to come get her and her things, and took custody of her (30’s woman) to try to get her off alcohol first. Anyway, I don’t see any chance of her having the nerve to try and find me. But if she ever did, what the hell would I do? If only I could follow my own advice. It’s a struggle

[@Joshy2-E]

Quiet bpd is the absolute worst, let the silent treatments and how negative they generally are be the factors that you have to consider. They can't healthily communicate and they block you out from being able to progress in the relationship. They still have the same core issues as other borderlines though. They can still lie, cheat, and confuse the hell out of you towards the end, space taking, all that kind of confusion. AJ mahari did a 1 hour video on discouraged borderlines recently, I'd highly recommend watching it.

[@sklavinian]

This was a fantastic video you did, and I found myself, as the ex-spouse of a person I highly suspect has Borderline Personality Disorder, listening to your listing of traits and practices of how a Borderline emotionally abuses someone and going "yep." "yep." "yep." "oh yep." From gaslighting, to projection, to emotional blackmail, to withholding intimacy, to believing in their own fantasies instead of reality, my ex-partner had it all. It's been three years since they left me for another person -- interestingly enough, someone from their past they never got over, and who has clear cases of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, so there's a match made in Hell. In the end, I think my ex-spouse of nine years and ex-partner of more than thirteen did me a huge favor by leaving because while the trauma bonding and heartbreak is enough for me to never wish on anyone, I can see myself regaining my former confident self, self esteem, identity, and adventurousness. Knowing they are most likely doing the same things to their new partner gives me some satisfaction, I was the one who won in the end. Thank you for the analysis.

[@DeMarsCoaching]

Thanks for the feedback and its great to see you are turning a tragic experience into a life learning lesson to love yourself. You have witnessed this person's full capacity and they are not capable of changing the ride for anyone so you know exactly how awful every relationship they will have will be.

[@tstoumbaugh]

the one thing you mentioned is the "i don't remember". discarded me 10+ times everytime i took her back always the same. "I don't even remember saying that" meanwhile i had clear, photo videos and texts of her going shit wild telling me to kill myself and i don't deserve to live or she was going to cheat. But she only remembers me asking her to stop that and leave me alone. But i'm the abusive one

He's a shell of the man he used to be, and I no longer have any way to contact him due to her isolation tactics. I worry for him all the time and have tried to reach out and give him resources about working with job and family services so he and the kids can start having a REAL life. Not one ruled by my sister's sadistic wants and control. But unfortunately, I don't believe he is ever going to.

We went to over 15 couples therapy, all therapists telling her she had issues that needed solving and that she lived in fantasy land regarding her complaints and demands.

After more than 5 years, he kicked me out and blocked me. He threatened me. I don't know anything about his dog that I was taking care since day 1. I thought I was going crazy, I even stopped drinking 2 years ago because I couldn't handle the reality of this relationship and I was heavily drinking for a few months. My hair was falling off due the extreme stress. Week 3 of no contact. I know he is not okay as he is a weed addict and he hasn't showered or anything (typical behaviour on him), because I had a letter for him and his mother went to the house and she was kicked out again (he did it many times, I couldn't understand). I'm full with anxiety, I want to throw up. I don't know how to move on with my life without worrying about him. He is probably the person that hurted me so much in my entire life.

My bpd gf constantly brings up past events that we both had previously agreed on , solved or discussed. It's crazy making especially when she says that she had more time to think about past incidents and she now views them differently than what she previously agreed to...many pw/bpd ruminate and spend a lot of time in the past picking things apart and then re-creating narratives that continue to recycle past issues...another crazy making behavior is their addiction with social media. Another is attachment to phone scrolling. Many are also extreme feminists and misandrists, imo. And how can I forget the pseudo-research tactics she does with Google searches to as a means to justify points she wants to use to support her "far-out" ideas.

It's killing us as well, the borderline. And I'm not manipulating intentionally. For myself it really is what I perceive is happening to me. I hope I'm not parentifying my boyfriend but I'm unhealed so chances are I am. Lord help me because I feel like a small child and I'm nearly 50.

[@angelamerlati8814]

My current boyfriend accuses me of damn near all of this. I hope I don't push him away and lose him. I truly love him. But I don't want to make him hate me.

[@gigichica]

This sounds so much like my, ex. I thought he was a Narc, so now I'm confused

[@L.RaeHoldt]

I got anxiety from this topic. I'm still in the relationship, but I know how much he has used and abused me. "I dont remember." I heard that ALL the time.

So true your top

[@dawnberger8105]

Wow. I feel had for you that you were hurt by borderline but you also still are in the process of healing; its very evident in your speech. Very evident. Get better. You seem to be intelligent and articulate but very wounded yourself. This is a forum for victims and talking us great but healing is the whole point.

[@polostoner4479]

The last time she called the police was the worst, hands down. Saturday morning plans are to chil-lax at the camper together. However, I was dressed "in good shorts and T-shirt" so I was to change my clothes. l refused, which caused her to file assault charges. I was arrested and spent 4 days in jail. This was considered a "separation" so having sex with an old flame was not considered cheating. 😳😳😳

[@annieb8521]

Do they forget what they did that's bad purposely or they really have a blockage???????

[@phivegallonfillup]

How about BPD verbal abuse on the phone, me setting a boundary by addressing it directly in the moment, then the “how dare you” reaction with silence and a refusal to continue the conversation. Then she demands I hang up the phone on her so she can experience a feeling of abandonment she was probably looking for to begin with, fueling the denial that she is not the origin of the dysfunction. On and on.

[@rose-sk2qv]

I disagree with the payment thought, yrs ago it was a man's place to pay, it was excepted with love and thanks, it didn't make them a narc or borderline and some especially the older generation who have been married happily for yrs it's still done that way, my ex partner worked, I looked after the children ect he would pay if we went out

[@kimberlybrowndiaz9293]

He got mad at me because i would not go into the store with him. I wanted to stay into the car and charge my phone because i had to do a zoom call for work. It was all so strange. He cursed me out

[@d-resmin]

Since you mentioned borderlines and opinions, I will tell you how they form their opinions. They repeat someone else like a parrot. And they will tell you they believe the same thing just to keep you. You should do a whole video on it.

[@Unibot47]

Sucks, my borderline person treats me like gold and does everything possible to make me happy, until something in her life sets her off, then she ghosts and hides, resulting in a silent treatment that might last for days, or weeks. It's rough.

[@pythonpatrol1110]

And that is why you need to find the strength to walk away from her, my friend. I am speaking from personal experience. It won't be easy, but you have to understand that she will never change without treatment. You can't keep going through seven bad days just to have two good days.

[@BugUnit]

My past year was with someone like this I suspect she cheated and got pregnant who knows she just abandoned me actually i have to pay 1000$ extra on a lease my cars transmission is leaking she has been coming home late saying she’s at her moms now after 30 years of trying to make a baby I was never successful I worked at the same job and switched jobs and was extremely tired and boom now she is pregnant she has accused me for of sleeping with everything that moves the list goes on the only reason I stayed is she threatened to hang herself this was by far the most mentally draining relationship I’ve been in it’s been a week and it’s been the best I don’t give a shit about the money and long work days it’s beyond peaceful with her gone my question is how likely is it for a person like this to cheat? She switched overnight and moved out after being super obsessed and I’m sure she is telling the world I did to her what she did to me thank you for the info

[@mybiz1006]

So... my mom... she sent me on a weekend trip with her boyfriend when I was 14, so I could lie about my age and make boyfriend's x wife jealous. Or when she wrote up a long love letter to a then famous baseball pitcher, attached my photo, and demanded I sign it. Her method was to ask me over and over to do something that I didn't want to do, but- I also couldn't say no because she would blow up at me. So I would put off answering with a 'maybe' until she kept on pushing me and I did whatever it was... I'm ready to walk away. I have had enough of her for one lifetime. It sounds harsh- but its the truth, and I feel the same about my dad. I've been so brainwashed by this ongoing manipulation that Ive been paying her real estate taxes and put her home in my name so that I wouldn't have to move her in with me and my family. My husband-- God Bless Him!- he has put up with so much bullshit from my mother and sisters and my enmeshment in that situation.. again-- I just need to walk away.

[@johto]

Oh man, so many gold nuggets here, thanks ! I remember, i was like WTF because she got angry / sad because i finally got a steady job while we were living together and struggling money wise and she was unemployed , she told me "I dont want you to work"...whaaat? Can't make this shit up 🤣

[@wo0olf92]

😂

[@rose-sk2qv]

I agree totally with financial issues there is a odd behaviour the way the spend, but I think there is a generation divide when you said about the woman paying for the meal, and its nice the man would pay, it was very natural, not exploiting anyone this is where we have times now where there is no difference male female its all very sanitised, my know sadly ex partner who passes away, always made me feel safe, cared for, loved and his thoughts were if we are rich we are both rich ,if poor we are both poor, no exploration intended just love and caring for someone, sadly that's going now in place of this idea, that any kindness is weak .

[@andrie1134]

Crazy how people misunderstand this disorder. People with BPD are not trying to be manipulative, nor abuse you. They have a huge fear of abandonment and it’s incredibly hard for them to trust someone when they go on their extreme lows. They hurt deeply and need reassurance all the time. The self-aware borderliners know the toll they put on other people and they constantly blame themselves, and they also realize they can’t be with anyone because nobody would want them, which is already a fear of theirs. These people have experienced neglect in their childhood and are deeply suffering. You can’t say they are “red flags” when they can’t control their emotions because of this disorder, when it’s not a matter of willpower. “Red flags” are those who are able to control their emotions and still do such things. It would be better to educate people on this disorder instead of putting even more stigma on it. From your videos it shows you know a lot about disorders, but don’t truly understand them.

[@orionism42]

When she looked you in the eye and lied convincingly to your face, are you going to excuse that behavior? She knew what she was doing and she was afraid to tell you because then you’d leave her abandonment. So the fear of abandonment does that make it right for her to cheat on you and financially exploit you?

[@r.bishop1127]

Screw that they can go to therapy. Stigma.

[@peacendukwe]

They are aware of lying to you that they love you they have a problem but would hide it they need to be stigmatized so that they go to therapy.

[@andrie1134]

@@peacendukwe i’m sorry, but it’s clear you are not informed at all on this matter. They don’t know they are lying, or if they are lying. They feel a desperation inside them at perceived or real abandonment. They feel intensely, and what they feel is not a lie. They don’t know that what they’re doing is a problem, it’s like they are drugged in the moment. Even the most self aware borderline won’t be able to tell when they have an episode, because their feelings deceive them. Nobody needs to be stigmatized in general, if you want them to go to therapy, why not help them instead of making their world worse unnecessarily, When they haven’t asked to have Borderline personality disorder in the first place?

[@L.RaeHoldt]

[@bbtreviews8683]

Firstly I want to say thank you🎉🎉 you help me alot with your videos peace of mind❤❤, my wife got bpd she changed alot but still uses silent treatment when ever I break a promise like told her won't smoke again but she keeps poking wen things are OK like lots criticising and that sometimes stress me out so go out for a smoke and she finds out and gets triggered so it's my fault with 🚬, what's the best way to deal with silent treatment

[@stevenbrooks4089]

You probably sound like an overdramatic ass to anyone who isn't/ hasn't lived through this..Truth is your describing my f'ing life. I'm getting therapy to manage the stress, confusion and emotion dump, I am going through.

From a borderline: PLEASE remember that not everyone with this diagnosis exhibits all traits. It varies greatly. Never assume 😊

Think about how this behavior affects the mate when the bpd person is twice your weight and a foot and a half taller. I did the math on my mate. In order for someone to be the same percentage larger than my mate is to me. He would be looking at a person 8 ft tall and 600 lbs. That person would be in his face yelling swearing and calling him names. It's ugly.. he is all the things you have described here, except the sex part. I quit having sex with him when the verbal abuse started.
