| A neuropsychologist takes on a driveby diagnosis
Posted: 9/30/2009 1:44:49 PM | I always thought of myself as a good judge of character (being one of the decent, honest guys here) but have to admit to being completely skunked by a loony-tunes woman. It only took 2 1/2 months (dumb-cluck that I am), and two times of being 'dumped' to come to this sad conclusion.
At first I thought it was me...that I'd pulled some massively stupid thing. But, try as I might, it just didn't click. So I described everything that I knew about her to a friend of mine who's an excellent neuropsych. The lady in question? Currently 53. Abused during childhood; chronic bedwetting until age 11; 'betrayed' by every man in her life; dysfunctional family (1 daughter morbidly obese with boy child of 9 who still wears diapers; 1 daughter who is under investigation for abusing the kids of her common-law guy).
Man, I really thought we had it made in the shade but, on re-reading what I have just written, I guess I'm guilty of being blinkered by love.
Lesson learned? Watch out. Beware of the Taj Mahal. Women on this site have it relatively easy. There are 'players' out there, and just plain predators. But, by and large, they're fairly easy to I.D. for the perceptive ladies. Too bad that I'm not as bright as they are! | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 2:02:36 PM | The things you tell us is sooo wrong in so many ways I don't know where to begin!...
But initially what does a neuropsychologist gotta do with all of this? Are you a neuropsychologist or are you just pretending to be one? | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 3:02:04 PM | nothing like a self serving post where the OP tries to lay blame for his own stupidity on someone else and injects it with a nice little touch of slander for good measure.
This crap should be deleted and the OP should be ashamed of himself. | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 3:05:15 PM | You're not giving any details of what went wrong except what is wrong in her life now, or what was wrong with her past.
What has love got to do with this? I am not seeing any relevance between your conclusions, descriptions, and what has a neuropsych has got to do with any of that?
The way you wrote your post is extremely judgemental and makes me wonder what is wrong with you. I know from what you wrote what is wrong with her. | |

Message: Wow..Twinkle..are we little bitter?? bitter about what? that this guy said all those things in here about a person we know nothing about.. I think he needs to rethink how he thinks he is a good judge of character! ummm it took him 2 1/2 months to find out she was a dud? ANd suggest(?) that he is a neuropsychologist.
Would love to know why you think I am bitter. Would be interesting. LOL .. | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 3:16:23 PM | How many red flags does it take to get your attention?
Abused during childhood; chronic bedwetting until age 11; 'betrayed' by every man in her life; dysfunctional family (1 daughter morbidly obese with boy child of 9 who still wears diapers; 1 daughter who is under investigation for abusing the kids of her common-law guy).
Did it really take a brain surgeon to tell you this woman was a nutcase?
Don't blame the woman-- look inside yourself and find out why you chose to ignore all these obvious issues. Even with this post, you're still trying to play dumb:
I'm guilty of being blinkered by love.
There are 'players' out there, and just plain predators.
Too bad that I'm not as bright as they are! | |

<div class="quote"> So I described everything that I knew about her to a friend of mine who's an excellent neuropsych.
Next time have your friend run an MMPI2 on your date before you get too deep. | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 9:48:25 PM | Ok, I've read your story over a couple of times and a few things spring to mind.
You mention that you tried really hard for 2 1/2 months before being dumped twice? I'm assuming this is from the same woman.
Her childhood problems shouldn't make her unlovable and no offense man, at 53 of course they're going to have baggage. Hell, anybody past the age of 20 is going to be collecting baggage. And with trying to so hard when it was obvious she just wasn't that into you, and then you coming on here to air her dirty laundry to the internet (which she probably told you about in confidence), I can kinda see why she wasn't that into you. | |

And now betrayed by you...
Your post about this unfortunate individual is purely gratuitous and says a lot about your character. | |

"being one of the decent, honest guys here"
Yeah, sure you are. And her side of the story is what?
All men claim women are crazy after they get dumped by them.
They must be, not to see what a "decent" guy you are. Right?
I agree with above poster
"Your post about this unfortunate individual is purely gratuitous and says a lot about your character."

Posted: 10/1/2009 10:40:23 AM | From the tone of your rambling message here I suggest your neuropath friends next drive by diagnosis should concentrate on YOU sir!
You're neither a good judge of character and the decent, honest guy thing is subject to more familarity with you so that this has only happened twice should include the phrase "so far....".
Keep in mind that "anything looking too good to be true usually is......"!!
Ding, ding, ding.....give this man a cigar....
I can see some of the dysfuntion being "muddied" enough to be acceptable for a while, maybe.....
But a nine year old in diapers? If he has a medical condition that requires him to wear them, that's one thing (which you didn't say).....but if that isn't the case, that is a huge red flag that something is really amiss.
She dumped you twice.....why? Did you think you could save them? A very noble vocation, but your friend the neurophsych would have his work cut out even helping them.
Blinkered by love....that's just scary.
I agree, that maybe you should drive by your neurophsych, and have a discussion about what's going on with you....... | |

Posted: 10/1/2009 12:27:12 PM | Maybe we are analyzing this too much/thoroughly. . It's not like he's crying us a river about every detail, giving the persons info out to maim them (though could if someone knew him and took into their own hands SHAME ON YOU). His conclusion was somewhat segued from the story so possibly made up. This experience is a possibility for anyone (different degrees).
Lesson learned, love can be blinding so be cautious. lolwut?
kthxbyeGLHF | |

Posted: 10/1/2009 2:59:45 PM | You need to rethink why you were with this woman for 2.5 months. She had more baggage than a 767. There were so many red flags on the field but you chose to ignore them.
Why? | |

"That's not entirely accurate - we also claim they are crazy after we dump them."
I notice that the user name opie has chosen may be a reflection of how he got into such a mess....Just saying
Some analysis of this choice may be in order as to why he got into his pickle.  | |

Posted: 10/2/2009 3:04:24 AM | Excellent analyses, all. Thank you for setting me straight. You're right, by and large, and I think I'm man enough to stand corrected. I was troubled enough about this whole thing that I thought it worth sharing and it was.
Once again, thanks.
PS I'm not a neuropsychologist. A friend of mine is. | |

Posted: 10/2/2009 5:03:57 AM | | It troubles me that your friend the neuropsychologist is willing to make a diagnosis without ever having met the woman. I work in the mental health field myself and as a rule, do not go around diagnosing people based on what others share with me. That is unless, you happened to have a copy of her MRI or PET handy and gave those to your friend? | |
