Title: my partner
Post by: gamblinwolf22 on September 11, 2015, 11:56:00 PM
my partner has BPD and has a compulsion of talking sexually to other guys through phone, social sites pretty much anything. I don't think she has ever acted out on these feelings but whenever I confront her I feel like I'm the one in the wrong that's how I'm made to feel we have been together for almost a year now and this problem hers has been around since we got together. she hides these things from me almost thinking I wont find out... .I'm really torn up to think the one person I love could do these things... or even lie to me about them... .I'm truly aching from all of it I'm constantly in and out of depression from this... sometimes I feel happier at work then when I am home. I drink everyday before bed to numb this pain I feel I want to feel like she cares enough not to lie to me... .

Hi gamblinwolf22,

you say she is not really cheating so it is not as bad. It almost sounds like you are feeling guilty about being so devastated. But then think about it - what if she would be discreetly cheating - how would you feel compared with what you are faced right now - open emotional abuse? What you are dealing with is hard and no wonder you are hurting  . Problem is of course that alcohol is about the last thing you need - alcohol lowers boundaries and makes you more vulnerable in the end. And yes, very short term it helps.

Have you taken a look a the LESSONS?

*welcome*,
