Title: Hope in saving a relationship with a partner with BPD. Post by: Galad on December 05, 2016, 02:35:51 PM We are three men in a gay Triad relationship. Our younger partner has BPD. Also a history of Depression and anxiety and sex and love addiction. We have had 3 or 4 conflicts in which we nearly separated and got back together. We have been together a year. He asked to move out the day after thanksgiving and we helped him to do that. It was very painful and sad for all of us.
Were struggling on how to proceed and whether we can salvage and re build the relationship, which is our preference. We need help in assessing and determining if this is possible and how best to solicit the intentions from our partner. Who says he still loves us but has lost the emotional love in the relationship. Can we get this back? He is seeing a therapist weekly for his sex addiction and attends weekly meetings for SLAA. He also sees a psychiatrist every 3 weeks and is taking prescriptive medications. Thank you for any advice. Title: Re: Hope in saving a relationship with a partner with BPD. Post by: Mutt on December 05, 2016, 08:00:59 PM Hi Galad,
