[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 370754, member: 1550"] Sounds like she could have borderline personality disorder. I understand it intimately...you simply can not be alone (although you do tend to chase people away out of fear once you have them). This requires intensive therapy and a special type. But you can't make her go...she is an adult. Maybe reading up on borderline will ring a bell and help you at least understand (if indeed this is w hat is going on) Here is part of the diagnostic criteria: [B]4. Finally, you may experience tumultuous and very unstable relationships. [/B] The final two DSM-IV criteria fall in this group: [LIST] [*]You may engage in frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment, and [*]Your relationships may be very intense, unstable, and alternate between the extremes of over idealizing and undervaluing people who are important to you [/LIST] You may also recognize that you have overly dependent and clinging behavior in important relationships.
