Me and my wife are working on fixing things. I was going to move out and get an appartment with him, but me and my wife decided to try and work things out. He eneded up staying about two months. After he lost his job, it started to annoy my wife that he was home all the time. She started to ride him about everything. He didn't bother me too much other than he went behind my back with one thing and I told him it pissed me off, he alpologized and I got over it. He moved out and ther was some tension between everyone near the time he moved out.
One thing he said upset me. When he was backing his stuff up and he came to talk to me and told me he was moving out. He said he is going to work on getting his life together and then he told me to have a nice life. I original didn't read to much into it, but after a little bit I started to feel rejected. I helped him out, and tried to be decent to him. Then it felt like he took me for granted and told me to screw off. Maybe I am reading to much into it. But I went from liking/ maybe slighty annoyed to almost hating the guy. Over a sentence. He hasn't called me or anything, afterwards. I don't like that my opinion changed so much. Am I reading to much into it, or was that a crappy thing to say to someone that helped you out?

It is a crappy thing to say to someone, however, you are also showing a classic sign of BPD. It's part of that black and white mentality and is called splitting. One minute we feel the world for someone and the next minute we hate them and never want to see them again. I did this to my best friend and lost her friendship due to it. I don't really know what to tell you. We have a tendancy of misinterpreting others actions/statements to be against us....but that doesn't mean you are. It's hard to tell.
