Realization that my partner may have BPD, looking for support

Hi There
I am realizing that while I have denied it for sometime, I think my partner has BPD. I don't think I can deny it anymore and I'm looking for support - for other's stories and techniques in their relationship to keep things stable. It is good to know this community is out there as this is very tough and it leaves me wondering if I should stay in the relationship although I am very committed to her. Thank you in advance for sharing your stories and techniques.

Hi Wellwishes,
Glad you found us! Yes, there is a lot to read, learn, and then try to apply!
May I ask, what made you suspect there was a problem, that she might have BPD or BPD traits?
How many of the symptoms does she have? How long have you been together?
wishing you the best, pearl.

Hi Wellwishes and joining pearlsw in welcoming you!
I would also like to hear more details about the situation and your partner's behaviors so that everyone here can start giving you some thoughts.
Sending you strength,
