Hi there Hurt Husband

I'm really sorry to hear that your wife is angry and dominating. It'd be helpful if you could share a little more about your situation so we can better understand if you feel that you can. You've come to the right place.

How long have you been married?

Do you just suspect BPD or is there a history and dx?

Hugs

LP

Hi Hurt Husband,

*welcome*

I'd like to join Lollypop and welcome you to bpdfamily. I'm sorry to hear that. I can relate with feeling like you're in a one down position and your SO is a one up position. It can be symptoms from low self esteem, low self worth, she could of had learned skill from early childhood that are not practical in interpersonal r/s ( defensiveness ) Do you have other BPD behaviours that you can share with us?

Hi Hurt Husband--glad you're here. This is a really supportive community.
 
As others have commented, it would be helpful to have a little more information. Could you give a couple of examples of the things you mentioned?  For example, how does she attempt to dominate your marriage?
