Title: struggling relationship Post by: Hanson2332 on July 10, 2021, 02:27:09 PM my girlfriend and I have been together for a little over 2 years now. After the first year i started to notice our relationship getting toxic. No intimacy, fighting constantly, nearly broke up many times. My partner tells me I am the problem, I have my own mental health issues, PTSD, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety, and Depression. I just want her to love and value me the way she did during the first year. If anyone has any advice I could really use the support.

For these relationships to be successful, the emotionally healthy partner has to be very strong. There’s a lot to learn in navigating a relationship with a BPD partner. Having good boundaries is imperative. I encourage you to explore the Tools section on this site. Here is a good article: https://bpdfamily.com/content/what-does-it-take-be-relationship |
