You’re absolutely right. That bit about projection is so true. My ex was always convinced I was cheating with someone, but it never even crossed my mind. She only ever outright accused me once, but my sister said that she was always paranoid about it.
Life is crazy, isn’t it?
I don’t want to spend my life paranoid and looking for crap to explode all the time. I just want a peaceful life.
I have refused to build up walls because of my ex.
I’m glad you’re doing well too. I hope it keeps going that way for you.
I’d be willing to bet that if we talked for a few hours we’d find many parallels. My ex was diagnosed with BPD right at the end of our relationship. Of course, I “made that up” once she did some reading and realized it was the answer for everything.
