Living with a partner who has BPD.
I just found out that the person I’ve been dating for 6 months have BPD. I did some research about what that means. I’ve been reading a lot of treads here on Reddit about how it’s like living with a partner with BPD. Most of the cases seem to be a lot worse than what I’m experiencing. With the partner being abusive or mean, threatening to kill themself and so on. I know it’s still early into the relationship and that things might change. My partner is kind and caring. Great at communicating and tending to my needs. My partner mostly seem to struggles with low self esteem, difficulty staying in relationships and emotional instability. I know my partner sometimes experiences splitting and during that time feels hate towards me. I’ve never noticed so my partner doesn’t act on the feelings, but it’s still not very nice knowing that it occurs. Even if I know it’s temporary. My partner been in therapy for several years and says it’s less hard now than a few years ago. If I’d go on what most people say it seems like having a healthy longterm relationship is nearly impossible. Anyone else that has experience with having a partner with similar issues? Did it work for you?
