Ex wife was a clinically diagnosed sociopathic BPD (plus also being bipolar and having OCD). Married for a nightmarish 7 years - I toughed it out to protect our 2 kids. Ended up with her assaulting me and trying to stab me because I refused to bow down to her commands. These people can’t be fixed and are very dangerous because they are very fragile and will do anything to avoid being exposed for what they really are. The kids now live with me and know exactly what their mother is like. Her pathology dies with her and doesn’t get passed onto the kids. These days I’m dating a woman 15 years younger and we’ve just had our first child. The kids adore their brother whilst the ex wife seethes with jealousy and bitterness.

I had a BPD gf. A total succubus is what I would call it. Lures you in and if you're an unhealed naive person, you're cooked. The total nightmare of trauma bond is difficult to break but I did it. It was long ago but I remember how devoted I was to being her mental illness advicate and all it did was fit me into her frame. Validating every single bs that someone would normally walk away from. And yes, worst thing ever is what they can pull to mess with you. They never stop trying to fuck with your emotions, making you jealous, try to make your friends go against you, relentless cheating, anger, it's so bad even the PTSD from the relationship rivals to those for people at war(I don't remember exactly but it was said), you never see a woman the same again. Things never add up and she will not help you clear things up because she is forever in survival mode and always tell you half truths to avoid feeling bad about herself. Imagine Women, all the stupid things you see + the disaster they can bring. They are capable of attacking you at a moment's notice and truly a menace to society, all depending on her emotions. I'm considering getting pepper spray and I still live in fear she could come back again and mess with me. Please use protection, din't believe they are using borth control pills, don't get married or share house, don't get charmed (stay unplugged like normal), don't let her keep the condom, she can empregnate herself to get attention from you😭.

It's pretty easy to get out of it. If you have any boundaries, are known as an "asshole" type, then it will end quickly. Still kinda hurt my feelings for such a short affair but conversations like "You're used to dating weak guys" takes the fun out of it for them I guess.

Go on a youtube video that BPD women watch for support. Suggest in the comments that perhaps they shouldn't date anyone until they get the help they need to stop hurting others. They will totally attack you. They can't stand the idea of being alone and think that someone that loves them should be willing to suffer for them. A big thing with them is that they can't feel normal and healthy guilt and even shame (which is a healthy emotion when appropriate and allows you to correct your behavior, apologize, and then remember the lesson for later). They go from denial and avoiding accountability straight to toxic, suicidal shame about who they are as a person. Because they can't stand the intense shame, they tend to live in a weird denial state their whole lives.

[@nygeek6471]

Exactly. It’s not a psychiatric disorder like let’s say, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, which inherently means pharmacology can improve outcomes. Instead, it’s a personality disorder, which is just sugar coating a way to say their personality sucks and then we lump it in with other people that share similar traits of this crappy personality. Extensive therapy is to rewrite that persons entire personality, coping mechanisms, and social constructs and it’s seldom successful

I ended a relationship with a BPD woman a couple years ago. If I'd had Rich's succinct list of red flags before then, it would've ended sooner. As it was, it took me about 6 months to connect the dots. Also, as an add-on to Rich's red flag about violent behavior, watch how women talk. If they talk while using their hands with their fingertips all scrunched together (you see this a lot on YT vids), or slap one hand into another, that's a sign of latent rage. It would be like a dude talking with his fists clenched.

Monkey branched on by Quiet BPD after 10 years. I left her alone and never bothered again. And then online smear campaign started of how 'abusive', 'narcissist' I am and so on that lasts for 1 year already. Why to do that if no one even contacting you?

[@jelkel25]

As a general quick rule of thumb an indicator of issues at present is phone usage. Nearly every woman I've encountered recently with issues has a phone almost permanently jammed in their face. They can look and say as many trad things as they like if they need that permanent shallow validation and escape there's issues there. It can come down to the fact they don't like themselves so don't want to spend too much time inwardly reflecting. You used to see this in women who couldn't have a quiet room, if you stopped talking to them the tv or stereo went on, now it's phone in face. You are basically another distraction from themselves, totally draining and you will be eventually made responsible for the endless task.

[@elfrogtrainer]

My BDP story: I got married my last year of HS, in love and rebellion against the world. We were young, dumb, and in love. She comes from a horrible background and had serious issues, which I thought could be worked out eventually. I felt the need to “save” her. I learned to deal with her instability. We moved to a different country to be far from the environment which broke her. We share three daughters. For some reason, being away from anyone made it “manageable”. Behind closed doors, she struggled with aggression, depression, and violence. Nevertheless, she was quite a great wife and mother throughout the first 8 years. We divorced around the 11-year mark. Our first daughter had a great mom growing up. My younger daughters had little to no mom at all. After the divorce, I raised the girls. We have seen BPD destroy everything in her path, our marriage, our family, her professional life, and many friendships. It’s like the aftermath of a nuclear bomb. The best I could do was to raise my girls in harmony, teach them to read the red flags, and accept their mom’s condition. They’ve learned to manage their relationships with her, though she will remain a challenge forever. I wish I had understood this earlier. Love yourself more gentlemen, no need to go through this.

I'm a 43 year old man, i was misdiagnosed for years with bipolar 1 and based on my symptoms (behavior) i fit the criteria for borderline personality disorder.

[@neodistinct]

Which video is that?

[@gl3mmy903]

What happened?

[@MrShysterme]

Much of the issue with Cluster Bs is that they don't have actual empathy, despite many claiming to be empaths simply because they think they are mind readers and also overreact to what they think others are thinking or feeling. I've dated 2 women that likely were Cluster Bs. Here's a red flag common to both. They never once saw something touching related to a struggle someone else had and then discussed it with compassion. An example would be seeing an elderly woman shopping by herself and struggling. A normal woman might see this (and possibly help the person) and then come home and tell you about the sad, touching thing they saw. It is a red flag if a woman NEVER does something like this. The older woman is just a one off, it could be anything. You need to see a genuine soul somewhere in there. If you don't, that's an issue. Conversely, if you are a guy with a lot of soul and genuine compassion for others, the BPD women are totally drawn to that like catnip. They want to extract it from you for themselves.

[@neodistinct]

The "empath" thing is bs. Cluster B have false empathy only. They are very self-centered and filled with their own "pain" so they don't give a f about anyone's feelings.

[@InstrumentvanVrede]

I can relate, a man died upstairs from my apartment and all I really care about is how awful his corpse has made everything smell. It's hard to feel empathy for a world so callous and difficult to live in, people suck.

[@em7291]

Women with BPD, almost 100% of the time have daddy issues, or have experienced some other major trauma while growing up. They will eventually end up taking out their unresolved issues with their father on their partner. There is a flip side to the vetting of a potential wife that is often overlooked. It is critically important for a young man to evaluate the relationship that he has/had, with his mother, as this is where most of his vulnerabilities and blind spots will originate.

[@InstrumentvanVrede]

Remember its called borderline because it's "on the border" between neurosis and psychosis.

I am a Christian male in my early 60s who along with my 21 year old son left our home. I was married to a covert malignant narcissist for 35 years. Since my departure I have suffered even more abusive behaviour and not one of my so-called Christian friends or family members have come to my support or believed me or even asked for my side of the story; all I have experienced is gossip and slander. My wife continues to ruin my reputation, my finances and hurt our son from afar. She has everyone believing that she is the perfect Christian piano teacher, but as I have found out, she is actually a pathological liar, master manipulator and one of the most evil people I have ever known. It took my teenage son when he was 19 to tell me to wake up and realize that his mother (my wife) was toxic, did not love or respect me or him. I spent 35 years jumping through hoops trying to make this work, but every issue was always my fault. Now in my 60s I see that I wasted 35 years of my life, destroyed my career ambitions and my personal well-being. However, I am confident about re-building myself a healthy narcissist free life for both my son and myself, although right now, it feels like her abuse towards us will never end.

Manic episodes for example can last for days or weeks at a time. Bpd has no emotional regulation at all and can flip flop between states of sublime peace and absolute rage within seconds. They outsource their emotional regulation to you, which is why they love you so much. Their hell is now your problem. You're their savior and they melt in your arms. But moment you don't fulfill their every desire, they perceive you as their abuser and you become an existential threat. They are a walking nightmare.

​@@ct00001 yes, You just described my ex to a t. It was amazing when it was good but then every few weeks drama out of nothing, insane emotional instability and no trust at all. Noticed the red flags after around 1 month already, it was probably the most difficult thing i ever had to do, but managed to get out after 6 months. Dating a bpd woman is literally like being a drug addict, the highs are super high but the lows are worse and worse and they destroy you day by day do that you become only a shell if yourself. Lesson learned, don't ever even date a woman with bpd, they will suck you in and it won't end well.

@@leventejuhasz3492 glad you got out man. The only winning move with cluster b is to not play the game at all.

Run from men with BPD as well. This goes both ways.

[@olanderdecastro52]

Wow…pretty wife,

[@nevisjackson]

Yea, absolutely, RUN from chicks like that. I am here to tell you, DO NOT play the BPD game. We are warning you, I am telling you from experience, it won’t work out, so please, do yourself a favor and leave her now.

Dont hate on us with BPD. To be fair, people with Autism, like my nephew, are violent and out of control at times. Some of the women are just entitled and spoiled not ill in any clinical way.

[@donaldsodav290]

Yeah, sorry, dude, but I came pretty close to putting a bullet in my head because of a BPD ex. There is an understanding that autism to that degree is a disability that strips the sufferer from free will in terms of making calculated decisions. If we ascribed that line of thinking to borderline personality disorder, then I would agree with the comparison. Unfortunately, BPD is often ascribed the definition of feelings of emotions intensely. I, for one, do not agree at all that anyone with BPD who hasn't received years of intensive TFP, DBT, Schema based therapy should be in a romantic relationship. There isn't any amount of compassion or empathy that can help a person through their own path of healing. Too many people end up destroyed on the other end, me being one of them. I sincerely wish any sufferer the best with their treatment course, but it's just not fair to idealize and build someone up as the best thing ever only to tear them down. The flip from soulmate to most hated is truly devastating. You can clearly tell that someone has severe autism if they are having the meltdowns you describe. This is just patently not true with BPD. You could get a mirrored perfect partner, a soul mate, only to find out that this person resents you more than anyone you have ever encountered and will purposely make you suffer and avoid facing accountability at all costs. The quiet subtype of borderline and narcissism can mask almost perfectly with no red flags and when they do crop up the sunk cost fallacy comes into play almost all the time. But if I could talk to my past self, jump ship and find the life raft, staying on the ship isn't worth losing your life. It's not for the faint of heart to deal with, and I've actively met at least a dozen individuals who are permanently damaged after exiting a BPD relationship. Some are even ex-military and thought the BPD relationship was worse than some atrocities overseas, which is saying something. Sometimes, the flags don't present until it's deep into the commitment phase (years) and then you have to decide if you want to weather the storm or GTFO when there are kids and marriage involved. Unfortunately too many people want to weather the storm and get lost at sea forever. Edit: I am fully healed from the exBPD relationship, however it took 2 years of intensive therapy and getting my shit together and getting back to my business and fitness full time.

[@InstrumentvanVrede]

@@donaldsodav290 I'm sorry for your terrible experience and I can relate. I was stalked by my ex girlfriend who had bipolar 1 and had a twin brother that warned me about her. My poor decision to date her seeking that external validation that people with BPD are known for, I did not listen. We had intense sex, intense "love" then severely abused each other. I am 20 years older now, it took me years to overcome her abuse too. I go to weekly therapy, take medicine to soften my reaction and follow the advice of Dr. Daniel Fox here on KZbin. A man with BPD isn't any better, I hope we both can experience a healthy relationship with a woman in our futures. 🙋🧘

​@@donaldsodav290same. Tried to hang myself 3 times because, BPD women totally devalued and monkey branched on me after 10 years. Beside that following their victim mentality pattern she smeared me on TikTok. I would not wish that to my worst enemy.

[@InstrumentvanVrede]

@@donaldsodav290 You certainly had other issues that existed prior to the abuse you endured. My first girlfriend and myself, back in 1999 (19yrs old), were abusive to each other, she was a fraternal twin with bipolar and I was not diagnosed or treated yet. The pattern was sex, fighting, sex, fighting followed by breaking up. Round we went, we both went through hell. Most women are emotional and already cause drama without a disorder.

[@donaldsodav290]

@InstrumentvanVrede I'm going to stick with avoiding personality disorders at all costs. I don't care what the back story is or the history; if you have NPD or BPD, it's a strict no-go zone for me. Not worth the gamble. My trauma was watching my mother and sister weaponize emotional abuse to an extreme that bewildered for years until I discovered what BPD was. Everything made sense. Because of the unhealed trauma, I allowed myself to get involved with another BPD woman. I should have jumped ship right away as soon as that first glaring red flag popped up. However, the inner scared doormat child in me said I can make her feel better and fix this. There was only one batshit crazy person in the dynamic and it wasn't me. I was patient, kind, caring, compassionate, and she viewed me with contempt and anger. She hated my guts for no reason 70% of the time and sprinkled some 30% nice in there, enough to keep me hooked on wanting to work things out. And yes I will stigmatize BPD until the majority decide to get serious about actually solving issues and taking responsibility via intense therapy that involves TFP, DBT, psychodynamic and other modalities to get the emotions and pathology in check. Otherwise, it destroys people like nothing else.
