Title: Living with a partner with BPF Post by: Johnny1234 on August 11, 2020, 06:28:38 PM I don’t know what to do and I don’t know how much longer I can take it.
I have been in a relationship for the past 2 years where we have been living together. A friend told me about his spouse with BPD and it lined up with a lot of what I have been going through. I just don’t know what to do. I am looking for ways to function in this relationship as I am currently overwhelmed and exhausted by my current coping tools. I am looking for new ones. After a call I had with my partner yesterday, I was able to see them as a sick person and was able to have more compassion. I did not fall in to the old traps of arguing. Instead I tried to understand the wants and needs that were being communicated and how I can have strong boundaries at the same time. I look forward to learning from from this online community. Thank you for being here. Title: Re: Living with a partner with BPF Post by: JoeBPD81 on August 13, 2020, 03:21:12 AM Thank you for joining the family.
Stop fueling the arguments was my 1st step in making things better. I hope you find more and more tools that work for you. *welcome* |
