I’ve had the privilege to connecting with my ex’s ex. We have compared notes on our mutual ex partner. The person in question suffers with cluster b personality disorder and has caused him to behave in an extremely disrespectful and dishonorable manner.

The other person and I are both older than the sufferer and we now understand that we were both played in a major way (him more than me). The sufferer has been very low down and outright nasty. Deceit, lies, promiscuity, disloyalty and a host of other problems. 

Now, myself and his ex have to put the pieces of our lives back together. I’m saying all of this to say, can mental illnesses  cause a person to become so haneous? It’s baffling to have someone love you today and not give a damn about you the next.

I’m welcoming any comments from all sufferers or supporters.

    I think it depends on what personality disorder you are talking about. Narcissistic is a cluster B and my ex-husband is one of those. A true narcissist does not and can not truly fall in love. That's a fact of the disorder. So yes, they are able to move on to their next 'target' with ease. Mine has done that three times in three years since leaving. And each time they are 'the one'. Except that only lasts while they are in the 'loved up' phase. As soon as the mask drops and the 'target' stops reflecting back how wonderful the narcissist is, it soon turns sour and a new 'target' is lined up. Sad but true.

    Thank you hedda99. I’m just not sure if it’s narcissistic, borderline, histrionic or anti-social. He has one or two characteristics of each. All I know is that he’s a very slick and deceitful person with an atrocious demeanor.
