That does sound so very confusing and hurtful! I hope that now that you've found this site that you can learn some tools to help you reduce both.
Most of the time, people who are in relationships with someone who has BPD traits unknowingly escalates the situation. That isn't saying that you are to blame for what is happening though. Dealing with a person with BPD or even just BPD traits (pwBPD) often goes against what we've been taught.
For instance, when the pwBPD tells us what they are feeling, they do not come right out and say it. They project those feelings onto us, generally in the form of accusations and/or rage. In order to help calm the situation the person without BPD or the traits (the non) often times tries to justify, argue, defend, and/or explain (JADE). The non does this hoping that a truer or clearer explanation of the facts will help soothe the situation. The opposite is what actually happens.
If you could tell us more about your situation, perhaps we can help learn healthier skills to deal with it. Many find that it helps to write about what is going on, so we encourage you to post.
It also helps to read the posts of others because it lets you know that you are not alone when you start seeing the similarities.
