70+ yrs old, married 48 yrs and although it's kind of been in the background, BPD symptoms have started with vengeance over the past several months.  Daughter suggested I read the books and i'm on my 4th one and they are the story of my life.  I guess it's good to know that I'm not alone trying to live with someone with BPD, even though it has not been formally diagnosed.  I'm not sure my wife's therapist knows what's going on.  One session every 4-5 weeks doesn't seem to be enough time.  Growing apart form kids and grand-kids because no one want to be around.  No friends to speak of but some close family members who seem to understand the situation.

Hi tictac and welcome! 

Can you tell us more about how BPD showed in your marriage before and how it looks now?  Do you know what caused the change?
