Title: Bpd girlfriend broke up with me trying to reconcile Post by: Itsmemrg on January 28, 2025, 04:56:18 AM Hey my bpd girlfriend of a year recently broke up with me.. however she still has us listed as in a relationship on Facebook she originally wanted a "break" but I didn't respond to the ghosting well. She broke up with me over the phone what can I do to get my relationship back? I've been going through a lot of stress but I believe we could work through this she's a great girl

Hey my bpd girlfriend of a year recently broke up with me.. however she still has us listed as in a relationship on Facebook she originally wanted a "break" how long ago was the breakup? what was it about? am I tracking with you that she initiated it by wanting a break? I didn't respond to the ghosting well. how did you respond? ... There's a way in which BPD relationships are no different from non-BPD relationships, analogous to how in some ways, driving a racecar is no different from driving to work. The difference -- in this analogy -- isn't in what you do, necessarily, but in how skilled you are at doing the same thing, and how intense and high-stakes the situation is. In both situations, you need to keep your hands on the wheel, not under or over steer, check your blind spots, etc -- it's just that you have more room for error when your commuting to work, vs driving at high speeds on a racetrack. (Obviously, there are differences, so the analogy isn't for every aspect of having effective interactions with pwBPD.) Working on improving your communication -- not just what you say, but how you say it and how you do the relationship-- will likely be important if you want the relationship to have a chance. Probably the biggest thing non-BPD persons do where there just isn't "room for error" is accidentally invalidate their partners. Take a look at our workshop on "stop invalidating others" (https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=81442.0) when you have a chance... anything in there stand out to you, or sound like what was going on between you two?
