Recently I met a great man and the relationship was moving along nicely although I thought perhaps a bit too fast. Only on the third morning that we were together I treated him as if he was a virtual stranger and in a way that said to him get out of my house now I have things to do. I did not make coffee, did not give him a towel for a shower and pointed him to the door and did not kiss him when he left. I have no idea why I acted this way. When I think back to the whole incident I barely remember it but I do remember being cold this way. It is not the way that I normally act with someone that I am interested in. It has had irreversible consequences as he has broken it off and won't contact me. He says that our behaviour, actions, and communications is incompatable. I do not blame him for this--as it is what he feels. I would also have felt very badly if it had been done to me.
Is there a medical condition which explains this kind of unexplained acting out which is kind of an out of control behaviour which gives a sense of me acting out in ways that I don't really mean and it is as though I am watching a movie of myself doing something and yet it is not really normally how I behave and in this case it has had dire consequences? It has happened before a few times and in some cases it has had dire consequences and in others it may or may not have.
Thanks
This behavior is common among people with borderline personality disorder, but they have other symtoms as well.
In the future, you may have to explain in advance to men you meet that you have this problem and do not really mean what you say and do.
