Title: Re: Communication With Partner
Post by: TryingToLearn75 on August 28, 2025, 10:49:50 PM
I'm in a relationship with a partner who has a BPD diagnosis and trying to communicate effectively is so challenging. If I don't say something correctly, then I am "unsupportive" or "taking things personal". If I try to communicate what I need, then I am "blaming". When my partner speaks I give my full attention and actively listen, but when I speak my partner is doing other things such as texting, checking/answering emails, etc. How do I address these issues? I'm at my wits end trying to be heard and respected
