butterben,
There has always been a lot of conflict and resentment in our marriage.
PwBPD engage in behavior pattern that drives conflict a lot. Not that conflicts in marriage necessarily amount to BPD.
Basically, I think that my wife is never satisfied with anything I do for her. Everything is always about her and how she feels. She always feels like a victim and she thinks she is deprived.
It is impossibly to fill the void of a pwBPD. What works however at least in a situation is to focus on their emotional needs. Effective active listening (see workshops on validation) is often more effective than chasing their latest dream or gripe.
There's more but I guess this is enough for now.
When you ready tell us. No issue is too small, large or obscure if it has a negative impact on your life. Not for everything is a solution known but sharing helps even then.
Again welcome,
