Title: my borderline personality partner Post by: mrtiptop on September 26, 2015, 12:21:39 PM hi all,
I have been friends with my partner for 17 years although we have not always been in contact throughout that period of time. several years ago she became involved with a good friend of mine and eventually got married to him. they have 2 beautiful daughters. she became ill about 7 years ago and started to drink heavily and take cocaine. she has also attempted suicide on numerous occasions and has self harmed to a great extent. we recently got in touch with each other and I started to visit her in a secure unit of a local psyiatric hospital. at first I use to visit her once a week, after one visit I was at home , when I received a message from her stating that she was in love with me. since that time our relationship has become public and I am totally in love with her. recently she has become very cold towards me and I have only seen her once in the last week, I have been reading up on her condition and would like some opinions as to how to handle the present situation Title: Re: my borderline personality partner Post by: shatra on September 26, 2015, 01:59:39 PM Have you read the lessons on this board---they really help explain BPD in more detail. How did you get in touch recently? Her saying she is in love and then acting cold sounds like the push-pull cycle that is part of BPD---they push you away, say it's over and then try to pull you back in. Is she still involved with her husband?
