As I saw this video, I could not stop thinking that when trying to make my relationship work, I'm attempting the perfect shot, just like John Rahm did:

The best golf shot ever?

We struggle to make things work when our partner's brain is wired to make things break. They just want to put themselves in an emergency situation so that they can stimulate their EOS (endogenous opioid system), but they never figure out that this is what they are doing. It feels like trying to push someone to go north while they just want to go south.

Do you feel the same?

1) It's not your fault. This is what's going on.
2) You won't be able to enforce any boundary if your BPD partner resides with you steadily. So yes, they will turn your life into hell.
3) They will only seek treatment after hitting a wall.
