Title: New and trying to find out ways to communicate more effectively with my fiancee
Post by: Hope4change1 on August 23, 2019, 07:12:30 PM
Hi, new here & recently found out my fiance was diagnosed with BPD as a teenager.   Trying to find out ways to communicate more effectively with him.  What works, what doesn't?  Also is it possible to have a loving healthy relationship with a partner with BPD?  Does the non BPD ever feel truly validated or loved?

Can you tell us a little bit more about your relationships highs and lows?  Have you set a wedding date?
