BPD husband, moving jobs

[Emmc22]

Hi, my husband has BPD. He was diagnosed last year after having a mental breakdown for which he had a short stay in a psychiatric unit. He has trouble staying in one workplace a long time as he can't manage interactions with his bosses. He has been in his current job for a year and has a good position there, he now wants to move jobs as he does not like his boss. There are no other jobs in his field where we live so this means moving our family (we have a 1 year old) interstate again. He is going through his treatment very slowly and often forgets his medication. I don't know how I can get him to stay in this job long enough for us to at least organize ourselves enough to move although I do not really want to move at all.

Hi Emmc22! Welcome to the family!

That's a lot to have on your plate: a BPDh, a 1-year-old, instability with your husband's job, now a possible move.

I don't really have good advice on how to manage that situation but I can see how it would be frustrating, being at the mercy of your husband's whims (and his inability to really get along with others). Have you talked to him about how you feel about moving? How receptive is he to hearing you out?

I'm sure others will have better advice for you. We're a supportive group here and there a lot of tools and tips and experience we can share to help make your relationship better. So keep posting. The more details we know about you and your H and how your communication goes, the more we can help.

Welcome!
