Title: Push/Pull Post by: Confused108 on November 17, 2015, 07:26:00 AM I have a question regarding Push/ Pull. Do people with BPD do this with all of their romantic partners? Or do they just do Push/ Pull with the people they care and love the most?
Title: Re: Push/Pull Post by: hashtag_loyal on November 17, 2015, 08:23:51 AM In general, pwBPD do push/pull with everyone in their life (friends, co-workers, significant others), but especially with romantic partners.
Title: Re: Push/Pull Post by: oceanblue on November 17, 2015, 02:58:33 PM My guess is they do it by far the most with romantic partners since romantic partners trigger all those abandonment fears. But I know my BPD ex could not hold a job long either and probably had 6 different ones in 8 years so he definitely couldn't function in a workplace either. He also had very few friends and weak relationships with his family.

Title: Re: Push/Pull Post by: hopealways on November 17, 2015, 05:23:12 PM Mine had push/pull with her dog too, so with me it was a given. But typically it is with those who they feel are closest to them because of engulfment fears.
