Run like hell? Haha. Just kidding. But seriously, know that this is something that does not go away and does not get better. As far as I know all you can do is learn to adapt and try to minimize the triggers that set the BPD person off. If I knew what BPD was before I got married I would have chosen someone else as my life partner. I'm not a fan of drama in my life but if you are with a BPD that comes with the territory.

I actually laughed out loud at the last poster's suggestion to run... .
It's not an easy road by any means. Educate yourself on the disorder, read every article, blog and book you can get your hands on. An informed decision is a smart one.
