I read breaking up with BPD partner and it resonated with me so much, every word. I left my wife of 20+ years to be with this woman and there are times when I have been the unhappiest I have ever been and feeling suicidal. I'm a survivor and I'm glad to still be here. Any messages of support, advice etc very much appreciated. I'm 50 she is 43.

*welcome*

I'm sorry to hear that you find yourself in this situation. I think that we can all relate to feeling some of the "unhappiest times" in our lives in our relationships with a person with BPD (pwBPD).

Perhaps if you provided us with some more details about where you are at in the relationship it might help. Are the two of you still a couple? Did one of you end the relationship, and if so who and how did it end? Where do you want all of this to go?

Hi Bpd boyfriend,

*welcome*

I'd like to join Meili and welcome you.  I was confused with my ex wife's behaviors for years and I read the break-up article and I astounded by how our r/s played out exactly like that article outlined. Finally, there was a reason and a name for how my ex wife was behaving - borderline personality disorder. I've felt suicidal myself in the past, have you talked to your MD about depression? I'm glad that you decided to join us, it helps to talk.
