i’ve been with my boyfriend (who is my fp) for about 9 months now, and i let him know really early on that i’m a pwbpd, i sent him articles, showed him the dsm criteria, etc just so he knew what he was dealing with. that being said, he’s always been incredibly patient with me.
anyway, we facetime every night because it’s difficult for us to see each other in person very often. sometimes on facetime he’ll do his own thing and i’ve come to usually be ok with that. but lately i’ve been craving more attention than usual and i honestly feel really neglected. so i’ll try to engage with him and when he doesn’t respond, i’ll usually ask why. i did that maybe an hour ago and all he said was that i’m clingy and needy. then i got upset and decided to end the call. then i texted him and said “call me when you’re ready to stop ignoring me 😘😘😘” which i ADMIT was manipulative and toxic and have since apologized.
basically, i have two questions. 1.) am i in the wrong here? 2.) what are some ways some of you have found to deal with these situations more gracefully?
sorry for any bad phrasing, english is in fact my first language but i’m just not very eloquent
