Hello, this is my first post and I’m not really sure where to start. I met a guy online this past February and we really clicked. We have so much in common with each other from movies and love of cooking to our sarcasm. We’ve had our ups and downs and have kept on working together for a future.
He was diagnosed with BPD about 2 months ago and since then we’ve continued to work together and learn more about how this effects him & us. He has his moments and says hurtful things, I try to remember that it’s not really him and in the end he feels guilty.
I know I can’t make things better for him but I do know that I can continue to fight with him for our future. I know that I can try to support him emotionally and to continue to love him when he’s lost hope.
After his 3rd episode in a week he wants to break things off so he can stop hurting me. I don’t want to lose him, when we’re together and he looks at me I can see the love in his eyes.
I know I can’t make him stay and I want him to do what’s best for him, I want him to do what he needs to in order to get better.
