intimacy with BPD partner
Hey, could someone with a partner with borderline personality disorder (BPD) weigh in here? I'm in a relationship with a man who suffers from BPD. We're together for about an hour and a half, with breaks, of course. He's not yet in therapy, but he's seriously considering it. He recently told me that everything is fine in our relationship besides sex. He used to be more romantic, but he never initiated intimacy. When he did, it was mutual, but recently he's distanced himself from me physically. He confessed that he doesn't feel sexual attraction and that he's had trouble with it in every relationship, after about six months, he simply loses interest. It's not that he wants to reject him because of this. Reading online, I see a correlation that the sexual sphere isn't as intense as it was when he first started with a person with BPD. Would psychotherapy help him? Has anyone else experienced this problem, and did your sex life return to normal after therapy?
