Crazy ex-girlfriend

WOW!!! Virginia IS love country!!!

...but once again explain the crazy part.
She visited her ex...You've never done that?
She's apologetic and wants to show you a good time...
You don't want that?
She's offering you an honorarium...Four or Five strings?
All the sex you can [DEL]ea[/DEL] er want..anytime and anyplace?
She's also offering you a stipend? That must be good mangina...

WTH happened in only 90 days? Were they just over the top insane?
 
At first I thought this thread was all fun and games...funny stories of hot, crazy chicks - but this is actually hitting home for me. Since yesterday, I've been doing a lot of thinking.

I started out with one about 12 years ago, a girl I saw on and off...She stalked me, sat at my front door knocking for an hour to let her in while she knew I had another girl in the apt, bought me things to "apologize" even let me do anal to make up for something.(not a joke) It was MAJOR drama. Several people told me to stay away from her, but I was too to an extent...drinking a lot, wild and risk taking. Sex was great, she has big breasts, and the good times were a lot of fun. I thought we were compatible. That girl ended up becoming my wife

Now that I've calmed down and changed a lot (stopped drinking), the behavior is highly present, front and center. There is a lot in common with the Borderline Personality description. I'm great one minute, and terrible the next. A few months ago she picked up my MIA P and threatened to smash it, taking it out of the apt after throwing a glass of hot coffee at me. Last week, I was a GREAT father to our 3 year old, and now I've done nothing to raise her. Last week she wanted to wear her wedding ring again, and now, she hates me and wants me out of out home. It's been this way for a while and reading about it helped. Sadly, I'm pretty sure our marriage is over, but I'm at peace with it. And that peace is driving her crazy. I refuse to give a response that enables her. Last night she called me FU%#^& #$$hole in front of our daughter after I was non confrontational with her. Needless to say, times are a little tough here, but I'll get through it. She fits IMO, a lot of the descriptions of BPD. Extremes. Sometimes, so sweet - a good mother, pretty, and others...

I ignored the warning signs. I was idealistic. Let this be a lesson to you boys, I married one and am paying the price right now. If I knew then what I know now, even a little sign would have made me run. Pay attention.

have you asked her to join you in counseling?
 
Set the way back machine to 1992.

We hired a new sales guy. Bob P. Straight commission so he had to hump pretty hard to get the business going.

His gf was a fine looking lady, a figure other girls would pay big money to have, smokey eyes, long legs and drop dead hot.

Anyway, she was a little needy and insecure, so she would call him at the office about 10 times a day. The boss was getting a little concerned about it. So Bob P tells his gf that the boss is getting annoyed about it and then hangs up. Bad move.

Now she calls back and demands to talk to the President of the company. She starts screaming at him about why Bob P can't talk on the phone to her. Mr CEO tries to explain to her that the poor schlub needs his time at work to work. Hmmm, that didn't go over too well.

About 20 minutes later she comes crashing into the office, screaming at Bob P and the boss. Totally out of control. Bob gets her outside and they take it down to the parking lot.

She has a total meltdown and totally freaks out. Apparently, she had given him a watch, she rips it off his wrist and gets in her car and runs it over.

At this point, we call the cops.

Then she decides she is going to smash her car into the back of his newish Volvo. He decides that he is going to stand in between the Volvo and her car. She then runs into him. Fortunately for him, she didn't break both his legs.

Then a cop shows up and tries to defuse things. She calms down a bit, and is told to leave. She then goes back to work at a local law office.

Later we hear she flipped out again at work, the cops show up again as well as the rescue squad, and she gets sedated and ends up on short hold at the local psychiatric hospital.

Thank dog she wasn't carrying, because Bob P or the boss would have ended up dead for sure.

Total nutcase. Sweet as an angel one minute, ready to run you over with a car 5 minutes later.
 
My story isn't nearly as entertaining/scary, but here it goes...

A couple of weeks into dating a new woman, she spent the night at my apartment. In the morning, she woke up, went to the bathroom, and flipped out over a third toothbrush she saw on the counter. One was mine, one was my daughter's, and she demanded to know who the third one belonged to. She was PISSED!!!! It took me at least 15 minutes to calm her down enough to listen to what I had to say. It was hers that she had left in the bathroom the night before.


We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last May. We still laugh about that incident.

Whenever I've been single I would always buy toothbrushes ten or fifteen at a time. Whenever a "guest" would stay over I'd have a new toothbrush in the package sitting on the sink. Afterwards I'd always pitch it. One time a lady friend asked where the toothbrush from the week before was. Um... I told her that I pitched it so that any other "visitor" wouldn't get confused and use hers. Amazingly, she thought that was a good answer. Honesty works sometimes.
 
My last gf flipped out all the time.

Once it was over finding one of my socks under the passenger seat of my truck. It must have fallen down onto the floorboard when I took my laundry to the laundromat one time and made its way under the seat somehow. We had a washer and dryer, but the washer died at one point and we didn't have a working one for a while. Of course, she thought I had used it as a rag for cleaning up after doinking some other woman in my truck and had stashed it under the seat. It took me an hour to convince her how completely ridiculous that was. The back passenger seats are folded up and my tools take up the whole back of my truck, so I wouldn't choose it as a location for that sort of thing even if I was cheating on her. That and I wasn't cheating on her.

One time she was planning a surprise birthday party for me. She had found the piece of paper with all the numbers from my contact list written down in case I lost my phone and she must have decided to use that information to invite all my friends over. Sweet, huh? Well, one of my friends had changed his number/service and the old number had been given to a woman named Beth. This was an unfortunate coincidence because the only Beth anyone knew was this really slutty girl that would come over to my neighbor's house occasionally with her boyfriend that she was cheating on. Apparently everyone but him knew that she got around like a cold virus. Anyway, I was at work when I got a call from my gf screaming at me and asking who the hell "Beth" was and why I would hide her number under the name "David" and not think she would find out. I told her to call another friend and get David's new number because it had obviously been changed. She called back a few minutes later all sheepish and apologized. I said, "So much for the surprise."

One time she was convinced that I was cheating on her because I was tapping my foot. Obviously that meant I was nervous and obviously what I was nervous about was her finding out I was cheating on her.

Fun times.
 
Well I have added fuel to the fire. I got so annoyed by her texts, emails and phone calls I agreed to meet up with her (just as friends) and talk about things. One thing led to another and we ended up getting that hotel room last night. The sex was GREAT but now we are back together and I keep thinking what an idiot I am.

I know people deserve second chances and she agreed to work on everything we discussed. I was thinking back today and I've come to the conclusion that I really messed up by doing that. I don't know if I should try and work things out or try and end it again. Maybe I'm into this chick more than I'm willing to admit.

My crazy, story was meant as a warning, not so that you'd make the same mistakes. Good luck brother.

Red flags are flyin', brother. Bail. There are plenty of places you can get sex-great, not great, whatever-without letting someone mess up your life.

I had an ex from Germany. She would get stoned, forget the time difference and call me in the middle of the night. I would sleep through the ringing and my wife would answer. Next thing I know I was being woke up by a very angry women with a phone in her hand saying "It's for you." (This was pre-cell phone in the dark ages).
I put a stop to that. I had to tell her several times but evetually she stopped calling.

A couple of my match.com stories. Not particularly wild and not exactly ex's as my psycho detector is quite reliable, so these are just first dates that went a bit weird.

First date I meet this woman at a bar local to her. Plan was to go from there out to dinner but it never happened, we got drinking and hanging out with other people. She'd already told me that her kids were with a friend so I knew where the night was heading. Then she disappears for a good half hour, I finish my drink up and decide to head out thinking she'd bailed but she's outside with one of the guys we'd been talking to earlier. They weren't in a clinch or anything, and he went back inside pretty quick, but I decided I'd had enough and headed to my car. As I'm leaving the parking lot she tries to jump on the hood then is flinging rocks at me as I pull into traffic.

Another time I arranged to meet at a restaurant and this very attractive blonde shows up (hadn't seen a pic or anything prior to this). She's dressed in a long black leather overcoat, black leather pants, black leather gloves etc. Not weird, it was the middle of winter and she looked great in it. After chatting for 15 minutes or so she 'bumps' into a guy friend of hers. What was weird was that he was dressed exactly the same way. She invites him to sit with us and it pretty soon becomes apparent that I could be the filling in a leather sandwich if I wanted to! I made my excuses.
