This part could get interesting since I read yesterday that he's not claiming it to be a romantic relationship.

So I guess in his warped mind, bang bang thank you Mame doesn't count, huh?
Gawd what a loser:loser:

Thank you Dalilah! That explains alot. It also makes me think of Joan Crawford, but that's way O/T.

I have heard it said that people with PDs in general can usually function (more or less) until they experience some type of trigger that sets them off and accelerates their disordered thinking. This was a theory I read that attempted to explain what triggered Betty Broderick's actions (even before the murders). Not saying any of this relate to this situation, but these examples did pop into my head. JMO.

Joan Crawford had Borderline Personality Disorder! Very close, though. Very close. There are varying levels of functionality with all PDs.

RIGHT! and where is the compassion for the intended victim?

I wouldn't blame the male right off hand, he may have simply been a victim of stalker also.

Does anyone know if the NASA press conference will be shown anywhere else on the net? I can't watch it right now and would love to know what they are saying about this.

Joan Crawford with those really scary eyebrows. No Wire Hangers!!

My cousin is married to an OCD (germs) and his issues can be rather inconsistent. It is usually all about shoes that touched something dirty and can't be worn in the house or the vehicles. But occasionally that seems to go away and it is something else althogher. She can change a doorknob in a jiffy. She lives a life of walking on eggshells. I have NO desire to live with someone who wants to control my every move. He washed his hands so much with Lava soap that he got a staph infection.

Maybe nothing really did happen between them and this was something Nowak fantasized in her mind? Just a thought not a defense of him!

Some jerk on MSNBC trying to blame Nasa saying they should have kept a better eye on her. How where they to know? Should they have been holding on to her hand 24/7??? Geez I guess they let just about anyone comment on T.V. these days!!!

Oh brother it's not like she's a child.. she is a FULL GROWN ADULT capable of making her own choices... I swear, some people just want to toss blame where it shouldn't be tossed..

I'm a newbie too. Welcome.

Is it confirmed that she slept with the male astronaut? I didn't see that anywhere so I don't understand the hatred for the guy. Isn't it possible that they were just good friends and she developed an unnatural obsession with him?

anything on the press conference???...i missed it

isn't 'personality disorder' just a nice, sanitized way of saying someone's a crazy b*tch........?

No. It is not. And, I am personally offended by this statement.

People always blame the male, I see it all the time on here and elsewhere.

No it's not confirmed and according to msnbc.com, Nowak was quoted by police as saying she and Oefelein had something "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship".

Well, did Jay Leno include this in his monologue last nite? I didn't watch.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: He did the "HOUSTON, we have a problem!" joke, the Depends joke, and the flight risk- into space! joke. It was hysterical!

and rightly so... it's always their fault...
