Hi Lahaina

*welcome*

how can I stay in this relationship

I'm not sure exactly what question you were asking so bear with me.

Did you mean 'you don't feel you have the strength to stay in the relationship'?

Or did you mean, you don't know how to overcome the problematic issues in the relationship?


These are both probably difficult questions to answer, without requisite knowledge of what Personality Disorders such as BPD entail
