I have been in a relationship

« on: November 21, 2019, 09:49:33 PM »

I have been in a relationship with someone for 11 months and she was just diagnosed with BPD.
I have told her about my past live and the people that were in it ,and she has fixated on one woman who I have not seen in 20 + years ,saying that I should go and live with her ,I have repeatedly tried to reassure her that she is the one I love and want to be with .to no avail,following the the book "the everything guide to bpd " by dolecki ,phdc.
I need help ,I'm lost and in love with this woman .

Hi Darfman! Welcome new member (click to insert in post)

welcome to bpdfamily and thanks for sharing a bit of your story!

Are you able to identify something that prompted this reaction in her? How did her reaction make you feel?
