It's interesting....when I called my wife out for talking negatively behind my back to her "friends"....first it was, "I never did that!" Then it turned into, "That's just what women do!" Now it's, "I dont do that anymore!" Gotta take that for her word, right?

Interesting. Just had someone say, "Denying bpd is a standard part of the bpd condition. All BPDs do this." No, "all BPDs" do not do this. In fact, a high % of them Ive spoken w/readily accept their diagnosis. Ive found few are like my wife who vehemently deny truth & reality.
