Hi, all. Glad to have found this place. New Member here: married/currently seperated from a husband with BPD. It's been a rocky, crazy ride. Dealing with all of the feels of most likely throwing in the towel. This is my 2nd marriage- the first was to an abusive covert NPD and the divorce was suuuuper traumatic. Enter husband #2, saying an doing all the love-bomby things when I was vulnerable, and LSS, here I am. Nice to meet you all, will be looking around the boards here for solidarity. Thanks for having me!

Welcome MamaMcGoo,
I too have had two 'Cluster B' relationships and your sequence of events resonates with me. My ex-girlfriend was likely a BPD/NPD combo (undiagnosed), she ghosted me for another man, when I was ghosted I fell for a BPD/OCPD combo (also undiagnosed) where I have two children with her.
Share if you want to, you will have a lot of support here as we 'get it'.
The biggest thing I learned from having these relationships is to learn how to do self-care as these relationships are so draining in many different ways (emotional/financial/etc.).
Take care with self-care.
