Title: BPD changed my approach to helping save my marriage Post by: Professor on June 09, 2020, 09:52:32 AM Hi. I learned about BPD from my therapist, who after listening to my complaints about my wife’s behavior, thought she might have BPD. He admitted that he hadn’t met or talked to her, so he couldn’t make an “official“ diagnosis. He recommended I buy the Eggshells book, which I did plus the workbook. Nearly all the boxes get checked off, she probably has it. I feel a weight has been taken off my shoulders, as it’s (all the stress, tension, fighting) not all my fault. However, the change now in how I respond to her, more defensive, is not helping the marriage. I can’t help myself from being more defensive. Any suggestions?

I just watched the video on how to get a loved one into treatment and found it very helpful. |
