My Friend is Involved with a Diagnosed BPD

I had my go around with BPD madness six years ago. I have now recovered fully and escaped with little damage. It took 2.5 years for me to shake her fully from the reengagement attempts.
An old friend has been involved with a diagnosed low functioning BPD over the past 18 months. It's the typical pattern. Push-Pull, breaking up for two days to cheat, drama triangles everywhere, and cutting herself to draw him back into the madness. I've never seen him this discombobulated. He does not have the strength to break free like HNM did with much assistance from this forum
He wasted sixty hours on Facebook stalking her in their latest breakup. My last words from him were "We'll get back together.". He's being played like a fiddle. She told him that she'd come visit HNM in an effort to inflict more emotional damage on him. Little does she know about HNM's BPD handling skills.

Hi HostNoMore,
Excerpt
She told him that she'd come visit HNM in an effort to inflict more emotional damage on him. Little does she know about HNM's BPD handling skills.
Does this scenario with your friend and his pwBPD remind you of your situation six years ago? Would you have done things differently with the knowledge that you have now?
