    I dated someone like this. The relationship moved quickly and was intoxicating. I didn’t marry him bc a little voice inside me said slow down. I found a spare phone in his night stand and turned it on. The texts to other women…it’s was crazy. Then I broke into his email…then his cell phone acct…all in one weekend. I remember shaking all over. He had been a VERY busy boy. I worried I’d have a nervous breakdown. He left a path of destruction and kept on going. There was no “real” him. He created new characters all the time. Effortlessly. I have no desire to tell his family or figure him out. I’m just glad it’s behind me.

He was destructive to my mental and emotional well being. I finally broke away a couple of months ago after ping ponging in and out of his life. I’m finally at peace but the mental and emotional fall out lives on.

    From a psychiatric view yes he nailed it. He may have been her dream but her inner reality and self worth was gone. She felt unworthy and was self destructing. Her thinking I'll mess this up before you leave me. She took her own life because in her mind the pain was too much to bear yet she chose not to erase the evidence of her behavior. It was probably her sad way of wanting him to know so he would not mourn her. Bottom line this isn't someone who just had affairs for selfish reasons and pleasure. This was clearly someone who was suffering deep mental health issues. I wonder if she ever sought treatment.

    What’s being described here sounds like BPD to me.
    Self-destructive pattern of behaviour is one of the biggest symptoms.
    I think she was expecting for her relationship to fall apart, so she thought she’d f her husband before her husband f’ed her.
    Splitting isn’t healthy either.
    As somebody with BPD, this is why I gave up dating and pursuing intimate relationships, because I didn’t wanna make other people feel like they were carrying around a grenade in their pocket, waiting for me to go off.
    Since my diagnosis in 2017 (I was undiagnosed for 19 years two months). I’ve tried to get as much quiet as humanly possible, I find the outside world too overwhelming, but there we are, I do okay for myself regardless though.

    I just listened to a fascinating interview with Andrew Bustamante on the Diary of a CEO Podcast. He was talking about Perception and Perspective. Seems to me it would do wonders for us all if we could get out of our own heads- our perceptions- and get a little outside perspective on what others see is going on. I wish she would have talked to her husband - it may have made all the difference and not led her to such destructive behavior.

Not in the way she meant though. I understand that he was hurt and felt betrayed, rightfully so. But this was cruel to her family and loved ones.

    Never judge people when they lie or cheat. I used to do that ,but actually all u have to do is live a little longer and experience more disappointment.

      I have trouble with that opinion. People close to me went through bad childhood trauma, such as sexual abuse, a mother who went through multiple divorces, and a parent who slashed them with a knife in the face--and they are honest and kind. I know others who went through severe childhood abuse who cannot open their mouths without lying. One does not necessarily lead to the other. We do not choose the hands we're dealt, but we sure choose how we play them.

    I have insight into this scenario. I'm very sorry to hear what happened and her treatment of her husband was shameful. He deserved better. But since she was essentially deprived of a father and his approval and love during her life -- she would always seek to "fill the emptiness" this situation left with the affection of multiple partners. I've known many women like this. I'm not saying what she did was right or healthy. I mean the lying and cheating is basically toxic narcissistic behavior. I hope the husband can move on. The suicide appears to show that the wife had a low opinion of herself and was mentally unbalanced. Sad story.

    • @Ava2969ny
      @Ava2969ny 6 місяців тому +2

      @Sarah-xw2ff - the behavior was toxic and shameful, but I think her husband is trying to shed light on why it happened, so that she's not completely vilified by their friends and family. The truth is, many people deserve better than the partners they often end up with, because human beings are flawed and some will behave in really messed up ways. Young men and women often repeat the behaviors they grew up observing in the adults around them. There's tons of guilt after an individual takes his/her own life, so I'm sure the writing came from a place of needing to unpack what happened, especially if he didn't see it coming.

    Unpopular opinion based on this comment section:
    Yes, she was completely wrong. But it sounds like she didn’t have sound judgement. And by all accounts, they could’ve had a great relationship. But she’s not here to say that. I’m not saying he did anything to deserve that treatment. But her self destructive behavior, lack of good judgement, no support system.. all that is a concoction of unhealthiness, and normally unhealthy people are not with a healthy person. What if he was abusive? What if he didn’t look out for her and harmed her more physically or mentally? Could you imagine a terrible partner writing a book on his “saint like” perspective of your life and relationship.. and you have no family or friends to defend you after you’ve transitioned?
    Again, NOT SAYING this is the case. BUT why disturb a spirit that was troubled by writing a book on her darkest secrets and profit off of it?
    And obviously this is his life and story. But to sit on a talk show and psychologically dissect someone that isn’t here to speak for or defend themselves is weird. Keep it about you, not her and her hardships that she may not have wanted the world to know.
    This seems exploitive, highly inappropriate, and just weird. Almost like a get back after she’s dead and you can’t address it with her. Hence, why I mentioned the possible scenario above. Abuse is about power, and this felt like a power move. May her soul rest in peace. And God bless him and his healing journey as well.

    Her suicide may not been about her hurting him. If that were the case. She wouldn't have told him that she loves him, while she was getting her back blown out. Her suicide could've been tied to the dude that she was involved with, where he'd possibly dumped her and she couldn't take it. I think that her husband was just for her security purpose. While she'd sowed her oats. No telling what other secrets that she has. Sexually molested during her childhood years etc. But at the end of the day. She'd hurt someone who was loyal to her. Being broken for a woman, often times overshadows lack of responsibility and morality. Now imagine if the tables were turned here. No way in hell, would people be having sympathy for this guy. They'd would be saying, good riddance.

And is it me or I'm just tripping because when he is talking about his wife death I don't see any emotion, sorry I don't, do you guys. And if i'm wrong i apologize because i didn't see the whole episode, i'm just going bye this little clip.

      You're absolutely not wrong and I won't bother commenting about those who can't see this. They just won't. Why would any sane person go through something like this and think, "it's in my best interest to write a book about my cheating wife who committed suicide" and on top of it, go on a media campaign. None of that makes sense. There is far more to this story that he doesn't have to tell and I wouldn't doubt he did actually know what she was doing and was a part of it. If this story is 100% true as he tells it, she's not a good person and her texts were just lies to cover up and deflect from what she wanted to do and she used him. I think Occams Razor applies here very well.

      Yup reminds me of Kouri Richin. The Utah mother who wrote a children's book about her late husband's death. And, then was later arrested, because it turned out that she was actually responsible for his death.

    My mom discovered who really is my dad thanks to iCloud. My mom didn't tell me the explicit things, obviously, but I can assume she found nasty and horrible things. She told me she didn't know with who she got married. She didn't know who truly was that man. Over the years I can say the same about my dad because I've discovered he isn't loyal to anyone. I don't know who is my dad. I know the character he plays when he is front of me and the other character he plays when he is front of others like relatives and his wife. Only someone else who has lived with a narcissist, pathological liar, etc knows what is this feeling.
