I even stumbled across this website. I think I'll just vent normally and leave this open ended.
I've known a woman in my life for around 7-8 months now. We became fast friends, moving into a new house together with other people at the same time. I guess after we connected through conversation i began to notice how attractive she was. It's been a rough ride, and after a while we decided to try and date... .twice. Both ended. I know what I did to provoke the break up. I try really hard not to point blame. During the second round of dating she had mentioned she had BPD. So I did some research and made some mistakes and we broke up. She still remains a very important person in my life. So i'm not sure what i'm doing anymore. In the back of my mind, of course, I'd like to try and date her again. But right now I don't want to lose her at all. She means so much. I want to be a better person period and the stuff i've learned through all this has really helped me do that. She's a brilliant teacher.
Anyways, hi. Nice to be part of the community.
