Hello. I just realized my husband of 27 years may have BPD. So many traits seem to fit our relationship. I am reading stop waking on eggshells and essential family guide...
I am now working on me and how I respond. I feel now like am sick of his PLEASE READ. I am finally trying to place boundaries. Having never done that it's new and scary.  I am trying to find EMDR therapy to work through my trauma to be able to speak my wants and needs.
I am not sure about the future of our relationship. I don't know how much more I have to give. So much pain in our past.

Maybe rather than thinking about how much you have to give, think about what you can give to yourself? How about peace of mind and reduction of conflict? Take a look at the tools at the top of the page.

Sometimes the best strategy is to stop over preforming.

Yes!  I have been working on myself and trying to make my mental health a priority.  As I grown and am able to make and keep bondries, I can see if our relationship has a future.
