Would you have agreed to be with them if you knew about BPD?

Not a chance! I would have RAN. I wasted 6 years...the prime of my life (25 to 32) when I could have met a perfectly nice guy. I had no clue what BPD was. I didn’t even know what a personality disorder was. His entire family just told me he had a bit of a temper. I believed it. I constantly asked myself what I was doing wrong to cause all the drama and kept staying and trying to make it work.

I only found out about BPD 4 months ago. It has explained EVERYTHING. It made me realize that it was never about what I should or shouldn’t do to make it work. I was stuck in an impossible situation. So no, if I knew about BPD I would not have thought it was me. I would not have held on to the story that we just have “communication issues,” and I wouldn’t have questioned myself. I would have RAN the first time he had a temper tantrum and spared myself PTSD and 6 years down the drain.

Not a chance in hell. I’m not a masochist.
