New and trying to find out ways to communicate more effectively with my fiancee

« on: August 23, 2019, 07:12:30 PM »

Hi, new here & recently found out my fiance was diagnosed with BPD as a teenager. Trying to find out ways to communicate more effectively with him. What works, what doesn't? Also is it possible to have a loving healthy relationship with a partner with BPD? Does the non BPD ever feel truly validated or loved?

BPD relationships can be tough, and the "non" typically needs a lot of support, so it's great that you've taken the step of reaching out for help here. For a start, read this page on What Does It Take To Be In a BPD Relationship?

Can you tell us a little bit more about your relationships highs and lows? Have you set a wedding date?
