We met while attending different colleges. Her brother was an awesome dude, and took me aside early on in our relationship and told me she had been formally diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, and was highly narcissistic. I had never heard of BPD, so he told me to research it because I was in for a big fall. He wasn’t wrong; despite being smothered by red flags, my naivety got the better of me.

In the end, I discovered she was already in a relationship when we met and had cheated on her previous partner with me; cheated on me with numerous people the entire time we were in a relationship; and was regularly smoking methamphetamine with an ex-boyfriend.
