Here is my reply from a similar thread:
I just got engaged last month, I left my BPDex a year ago. My fiancée does not idolize me, does not put me on a pedestal but she does respect me, she does treat me amazing, the sex is great, she makes me feel awesome! We argue and listen to each other and apologize and live in the same reality! This is much better than being idolized for a few months then abused by someone that can never love you in a healthy way and will never be a partner in your relationship.
I love this story frankly i dont like to be idolized i wanted reality some one who says hey your ___ does stink but i love you
gross but its real?
