3 years after breakup w exwBPD - living the best life
Hi all,
Sending all of you my (m36) hugs❤️ and some optimism for your future.
In 2023 my exwBPD discarded me (age 33) after a 2 year relationship.
In hindsight, this relationship was the worst thing that ever happened in my life. The aftermath was tough. Did a lot to recover (therapy, reading up on psychology). Recovering went with ups and downs.
A year later (2024) started dating another woman. Great person, but I were not connected to my feelings yet, I burned out and I ended it.
This time I really went into introspection, connected the dots, discovered my childhood traumas which had made me stay in the toxic relationship. Truly achieved self love, and only feel pity for my exwBPD and for the people who (have to):engage with her.
Again a year later (2025) I went on many dates with different women, I enjoyed the time, with most no connection, with some yes. And then I met a great woman with whom it clicked, and quickly grew to a loving wonderful connection.
Now almost a year later (2026), I can't imagine a life without her and she thinks the same about me. We are a team. We love each other and truly want the best for each other. She rewired my idea of what a relationship should be and should feel like. My relationship standards sky rocketed. Never back. It only confirmed that my relationship with my exwBPD was terrible. Life is now better in every possible way. Looking forward to marrying and having kids.
From my personal experience, I am convinced that everyone who stays in a relationship with a pwBPD has major issues, major traumas, which were already there before the toxic relationship. Discovering those and working on them, is the way to a happy life and a happy relationship.
PwBPD should not have any close personal relationships as long as they have BPD, like psychopaths should not have any close personal relationships as long as they have psychopathy.
Please, you only have one life so get yourself out of there whenever you find yourself in a situation(ship) with a pwBPD or a psychopath.
Recover, start the path of genuine self discovery and open the doors to a life worth living.
