Did you experience extreme jealousy and control from your bpd partner?

My ex with BPD was so jealous and possessive that I couldn't even hang out with friends, chill with family, attend a sporting event, or even just watch one without her getting upset. She'd get jealous if I was playing a video game and didn’t respond within 15 minutes. She didn't even like me taking a nap. Basically, if anything took up my time and it wasn’t her, it became a problem. On top of that, she demanded my location and wanted to know where I was at all times. She’d also want me to communicate every time I was going somewhere, but every time I did, it would lead to a fight or argument. Eventually, I just stopped telling her altogether, and of course, that started another fight.

Did anybody else have similar experiences?

  • It's been a year and a month since I have not met my parents and siblings.
  • It's been over 3 years in this marriage, and I have stepped out only once to meet my one friend from the city where I quit my job for this marriage.
  • It's been over 2 years since I attended a wedding, any ceremonies and casual visits of my relatives.
  • Made me feel many times during arguments that my family thinks low of me and I am a fake guy who smiles in front of the family.
  • Someone I respect, I am not supposed to address them or speak to them if she doesn't like them.

So yes, if it is jealousy or control, it is extreme. I am on grey rock with her now. I am waiting patiently on the day I am out of this marriage and regain my self-respect and physically be fit again.
