Title: New member looking for help Post by: MrsMunky85 on November 11, 2015, 11:05:49 AM Just want to say hi and how does others cope being in a long term relationship with a person with BPD? I have been with my other half for mearly 15 yrs and only recently found out he has continually cheated on me. He has physically, verbally emotionally abused me for our entire relationship and only now sees the extent of whats been happening. I feel so confused and lost with no one to turn to.
