The girl was very hot (in fact, she used to be a stripper – my girl had seen a pic of her and went on about how hot she was). My girl asked me why nothing happened with her and I told her that I was married at the time and I wasn’t going to let anything happen. My girl asked me if I had shut the other girl down every time she tried to make a move, and I told her that I did.

It’s as if you’ve had cameras hidden in my head all this time. Actually I’m very clear that BPD is different for every single person that has it. That’s why you have to apply everything to your particular situation which is what I’ve been saying. I don’t even like using the word BPD anymore because I hate clumping people into categories.
