It took my exBpd 4 months to tell me that she suffered from depression & "BPD" ... .I had no idea what BPD was , all I remember saying is hmmm depression is hard thing to go through you may want to look into some meds for that.
I had no idea the severity of BPD though... .How long did it take before BPD was mentioned in your relationship/friendship?

My exBPDgf mentioned BPD about 6 months or so into the relationship that her mom who is a psych nurse thought she might have a personality disorder. At the time I didn't know anything about BPD or did even think anything of it that she said that to me... .i didnt even read up on personality disorders or anything. I knew that something wasn't right with her but a personality disorder sounded like something too serious... .i wish I would have looked into it now. I think my ex may have been diagnosed with BPD but never wanted to tell me. As far as her mom, I believe she is also a borderline as well. Theyre both cut from the same stone and I thought something was wrong with her from the moment I met her.

My gf has never mentioned BPD though she exhibits every symptom commonly.
She was seeing a psychiatrist at the time so thinking I was being a good bf, I asked her if she's ever thought she might have BPD. After thinking all of our problems stemmed from me and scouring the internet for answers, and she got very offended and then very sad. I had to immediately drop the conversation. It has never been spoken of again, that was a year ago now...
