I gained the courage
I finally left my BPD partner after 5 years of dating and as much as I feel happy it makes me sad of how much effort I put into this relationship and to her needs before mine. Her symptoms are typical and she refuses to acknowledge it and go to therapy and I’ve given her so many chances and she is in denial. She abused me on so many level that I don’t know how I will recover from, every holiday we went to together, we fight, even my birthday, she started a big fight based on assumptions she made and refused to change her mind.
She would wake up from a dream she had of me and start a fight based on it.
People told me to leave her, I couldn’t because I love her so much I’d give her the world if she wanted it. I finally did it and I don’t know how or why but I’ve been struggling for a long time to do something about this and even now I feel bad for leaving her but I know it’s the right thing.
I would like some advice from those who dated pwBPD, on how they managed to find themselves back from all of this.
