 Paragraph header  (click to insert in post)

My poor wifee is afflicted with all 9 freaking traits of BPD and I am the only one trying to cope, understand,  research, help her/us through this together.

Her raging comes out at me and I am there for her best I can but I do feel hurt & sometimes even lacking the wisdom or just patience to get through an episode.

I'm reaching out to this community for strength.  Any other husbands out there successfully managing such situations?

Appreciate your care and time.

These relationships are difficult. Though you can’t change your wife’s mental illness, you can change how you respond to her behavior and lessen the impact upon yourself.

Here’s an article that might be helpful:  https://bpdfamily.com/content/what-does-it-take-be-relationship

Keep reading here. There are members who have been able to successfully navigate a relationship with a partner who has all of the traits. It’s a tough road, but much can improve with what you’ll learn here.
