Well I got dumped two weeks after she said she loved me so much and really appreciated everything I do for her. I realized after she carried most of the BPD traits. After days of reflecting on our 6 years. I think back to all the trivial arguments in which i almost always thought I was wrong, too many silent treatments to count followed by making up like nothing happened ,the insecurity and criticism etc... .. All makes sense to me now.

Yes, absolutely! Or I wouldn't still be hanging around here trying to help people understand these kooky dynamics better
Realizing that I was contributing to the kookiness was a real eye-opener
Still contribute at times, but am so much more aware and accepting of both of our "
dynamics
"
We're a real dynamic duo

Hi wall bike.
You've mentioned having a fried with BPD or BiPD… can you tell us some of the back story? How long have you been "friends". What happened that you are thinking of walking away?
