Realizing you are just another link in their chain of fools

Reading these stories and then having it all play out in your own way is like reading a prophecy on an ancient tablet. You think “this could never happen to me” until it does.

Me and my pwBPD have broken up and we have agreed to be ‘friends’ ..i don’t reach out, nor do i watch her stories, or interact with her at all for my sake. But today we reconnected, i called her and we were on the phone. I ask her about her new relationship and she then tells me everything wrong with the guy after me. My eyes widen and i can’t even believe what i’m hearing, She tells me she’s talking to multiple people and tells me just one tiny thing that throws her off abt them. It just made me realize that i was just another link in her very long chain of fools..fools that thought they’d be the one to “fix” her, to change her. Only until a new person sweeps her off her feet, being seemingly perfect until a few months or even years later. Then the cycle repeats.

I’ve already accepted that we’ll never be. In fact i’m not even sad about it anymore..but i do find myself missing her often. There is countless things on this sub that i’ve read first, then experienced and it’s a brutal reminder that your relationship isn’t special and the prophecy will fulfill itself no matter what you may do. We are all cooked.
