Just started dating a girl with bpd two ppl have warned me about her
For context, we're older teens, and we started dating almost a month ago.
She dated one of my old friends for 8 months. I haven't talked to him, but she's told me about how, when they broke up, she was begging for him to take her back.
She also has another ex she dated for 2 years, and before we started dating, she would always tell me how amazing he was and that she still loved him, even over a year after they broke up. When we started getting closer, that ex reached out to me and said she manipulated him for 2 years and that she is "soul sucking."
Right now, though, this relationship seems great. She texts me a lot, almost annoyingly a lot, and she plans a date at least 2–3 times a week. I only have to briefly mention wanting to hang out for her to make a whole plan.
She was really high the other night and was texting me about how she was crying because she thought I'd leave her when we start school because "everyone will love you because you're perfect." Then she sent more texts about how I'm flawless.
It all just seems too good to be true. I mean, she's not the most attractive, but she's pretty, and she seems to really, really love me, more than anyone ever has.
I've also talked to her about having BPD. She told me she was diagnosed at 15 after spending the summer in a mental hospital. She said I have nothing to worry about because I "won't stay when it gets bad" and that she's working on it.
The last person she dated was for 5 months, and then she broke up with them to date me. She always uses the fact that he's asking for her back, and that she didn't manipulate him, as proof that she's not as toxic as she used to be.
I just want reassurance that I can trust this. Like I said, it feels too good to be true.
