She still doesn't get it?
Is there any history to those that suffer from BPD to acknowledge the abuse someone has caused to a friend of theirs but yet dismiss that that was a near identical situation to the abuse you've received?
Wife and I became poly (?) in 2021, dating separately or so, she's dating and I'm lonely for reasons you'll likely see explained.
Recently she's been talking all day for a couple months now to this guy she met recently on Discord. They've developed feelings, but my wife claims she'll never be a mistress to anyone because he's still married and they aren't poly.
I guess its a reoccurring conversation for them, about his marriage, because he's unhappy. His wife expects him to change to accommodate her and all her needs. Sounds very familiar to me, like I'm looking into a mirror.
I met a girl also in Discord in 2022. At this time, my wife was actively in a relationship with another guy for nearly a year. It was a whimsical moment, something that just exploded fast and kept gathering momentum with our conversations. One random day after a couple months of just getting to know each other, my wife had grabbed my phone to see who I was talking to and saw that I told this girl she was 'gorgeous' after a photo she had sent. It didn't matter though, she was a girl and like even the girls I knew prior to our relationship, girls I might have had as friends during, she quickly forbid me to speak to her again.
Over this past weekend, this same thing happened with the guy my wife has been talking to but she's been extremely proactive in acknowledging how abusive his wife is being now and in their marriage as a whole from what he's told her. And from the conversations she has shared with me, my wife is identical to this other woman in how she has treated her partner but she just dismisses this as if I'm trying to gaslight her.
I know as humans that we often don't follow the same advice we tell others but to be so oblivious and to say that I distance myself for reasons other than this realization just baffles me.
