I was engaged to a BPD ($18,000 Diamond ring) for over a year...we were together for 2 years.
Yes, got the ring back and a refund.
The one thing that ended it for me, aside from the deceit, manipulation, uncaring, and her constant "taking" (more like usury), was her abject absence of Empathy.
I told her often that I felt alone when I was with her...didn't disconcert her in the least.
Just an empty, fraudulent statement, "Oh, I'm sorry that you feel that way."
A wise man would do well to study-up on personality disorders...especially NPD, because it's rampant in this society.
NPD is co-morbid with BPD.
I'm a more informed and developed person for the experience...I wouldn't trade the time with her for anything.
I can more easily hear and see issues that women have much earlier now.
I know what questions to ask...and so many women leave quickly, now...and/or I exit stage left.
Lack of self-awareness is rampant, today.
The internet is full of info on P. Disorders.
.
Take care, all.
