Hello. My ex has BPD and recently she broke up with me. This isn't the first time. We have almost been dating for a decade so my reason for sticking around mostly has been due to how much I love this girl. I understand that this can be the ebb and flow of a relationship with someone suffering from BPD. I guess I'm at a stage where I don't know if I should continue with the relationship or if I should call it quits. I still love this girl deeply and honestly I believe she still loves me also. She has been dealing with some outside stressors in her life and I believe that she is taking it out on me. I'm basically the only family she has so who else is she going to take it out on.

Hi Al,

Welcome to the community! I'm glad you decided to post, as you will find members here who understand what you are going through. There are, indeed, ebbs and flows in all relationships, but with someone with BPD, they can be more dramatic, as you know. 

I can understand your questioning whether you want to stay in this relationship. I think we've all been there at one time or another. There are things you can do that can help the relationship. And self-care measures can also make it more fulfilling for you.

What situations/behaviors cause the most trouble for you, Al?

Keep posting. We're here to support you.
