Double standards

I get tired of the double standard that applies when you live with a BPD person. Tonight, for instance, I made a point of being entirely friendly / affable when I got home (tried to call twice over the day -- doing my duty)..... Things were civil / friendly enough.

But, she eventually took herself inside to read, leaving the deck without a word...

Actually, what really struck me, though, was that I noticed she'd found the movie, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" on one of the movie channels. I joined her and watched it (she watched/listened/read).... When that movie was over, she did a bit of guide checking.... then put the channel back on where some other "mystery" movie was starting..... which I assumed SHE wanted to watch...

Buuuuuttttt, after a while, I realized she had taken herself upstairs. Again, without a word. At least, not until she had a little trouble with the DVD set up in the bedroom....

After I assisted, she had a movie on, volume loud -- I was kinda figuring I'd have to start out sleeping downstairs.

So, let's see if I get this. It's OK if SHE'S rude to me, leaves without a word, etc... but what would happen if I did that?? We know, don't we.
