Title: Exhausted and numb
Post by: verydistraught on May 25, 2019, 04:37:34 PM
I’ve been married to a man for 4 years who is BPD and he’s just starting to accept it. But the damage to our relationship has been so great that I don’t know if I can continue. I feel isolated because anything I do for myself, he feels threatened by, even spending time with my daughter. I’ve fallen into a deep depression, which angers him because he can’t understand why. Our relationship goes through cycles monthly, daily, hourly, and even moment to moment of extreme ideation of me and our life together or extreme devaluation of me and our life together and there is no middle ground. I want off this roller coaster but I can’t trust him to be fair with me in divorce, because he says he’ll be kind to me one minute and the next he says he’ll do everything he can to make sure I end up with nothing. I feel stuck and alone.
