So I realized last night after writing the list of BPD traits: If emotions=facts,
(1. in our R we would argue, I would make a good point and her response would be "but this is how I feel" as in that is all that should matter. 2. When she would be PMSing, she would say ridiculous things. After the PMS was over I would ask her about it expecting her to say "please disregard that". Instead she would say that everything she said was absolutely true)
Then when/if she comes out of this in a year or two, she will have had a year or two to feel that she doesn't love me anymore, we have nothing in common, I am the cause of all her pain, etc. etc... Past experience says she is going to own all of these feelings and I am up the creek. All of these feelings will have become facts.
