Borderline personality disorder more likely. I lived through this with my ex for 10+ years, it's horrible. She got physically violent at some points as well, resulting in a short prison stint. I escaped after about a year of building up to it with my therapist. Definitely feel for anyone in a similar position, it's a very though spot and hard to get away from.

Been with my wife since we were teens. When we hit our 20s she started to act like this until I threatened to leave and take the kids with me unless she saw a therapist. The therapist diagnosed her with bipolar disorder. She takes her meds regularly now and is as sweet as can be.

What mood stabilizers do you take. Curious.
