I read nearly very day and I came across these two quotes and it occurred to me there is some truth in them in regards to BPD traits:
- Absence makes the heart grow fonder
- Familiarity breeds contempt
Many here have separated and then after a period of time noticed the conflict seemed to be less or even gone, the ex seemed relatively normal from a distance (the first quote) yet when they reconciled and got back together the prior conflict resumed (the second quote).
BPD is a disorder impacting most the closest of personal relationships. Distance apart is not an indicator of recovery from BPD. That is a sad reality.
