Hello everyone,

i have/had some kind of relationship with a man who i think he might have BPD. He talks to a doctor once in a while and got antidepressants.

I don't know if i should keep trying to help him or leave. i am really afraid of him. Also he is VERY afraid of me. He could not give me a reason for it. He just said then all of my behavior is strange.

I just get right to the point which is still bothering me.
We just met once. He was at my room. And i was laying on the bed and he put his hand over my mouth and my nose. Not much. But still so much that i got really afraid. I tired to remove his hand but he shoved my hand away and put his hand back there. He did this a few times with me. Obviously i did not like it. But this seemed not to be a reason for him to stop it. He was quite calm while doing that and said "I like that... ". We did not have any argument or so. I might have looked at him in a way that made him feel guilty maybe.
I actually did not see how awful that was until i spoke to a person (online also) who told me to leave this person if i would like my life.

I am not sure if this person really has BPD. But he told me that he feels always guilty when he leaves a relationship. also it seemed like he did not want to admit that he never had a relationship really. Which i can perfectly understand because of how he behaved.

In some weird way i love him. he told me he loves me first. At the moment he does not talk to me anymore. I sent tons of messages. Because i am a bit sick also and i felt like not giving him up.

I do not know what i will do if he texts me again.
Maybe you could help me out.

Thank you for reading this.

I don't really know where to start, but your posts has tons of red flags for me. But tbh I see them on both sides and I do not see any clear signs of BPD.

It sounds more like a creepy power thing which is going on.
But in the meantime you said you just met him once and that time you let him in your bedroom and he showed that weird behaviour?

Isn't that enough reason to just walk away directly? Just meeting once should not have created an emotional dependence or something like that... .so it still should be relatively easy to walk away. At least easier now than later on.

So why would you stay or even pursue this r/s?

The story is weird and a bit longer. I wasn't sure what i should write from it.

I know this person since 3 years. From university. So we have seen us often. But usually just talked via fb and text messages.

I really thought i could trust him. . i actually wanted to marry him and maybe leave with him to his country of birth. I know how weird all of this sounds. :/

He has a really cute/kind side. I do not want to lose him. .

He said that he does not like possessive women. And he feels lonely. And he seems to be ashamed of himself. Even if there is no reason for him. He is good looking and smart.

Hi Marilu,

I just read your intro thread, so I kind of understand that you want him in your life.

Only you can make this decision, but I can give you my point of view.
Whether or not this man has BPD is irrelevant to me. I don't see BPD as an excuse for such extreme behaviour. I really cared and still care for someone with BPD and I would never harm her. She has never physically harmed me either. Now that I don't have a place in her life anymore, I just would wish her to be safe and happy.

So from my point of view you deserve better. Especially since you're in therapy now, this man could potentially mess everything up. You don't need anyone who wants power over you. Just someone who cares.

I really wish you all the best in deciding what's right for you.

Thank you for your nice answer. That helped already. I think you are right. I deleted his number a few days ago. . so i won't text him anymore.
