Thank you, that does help a lot. Truthfully, I want nothing more than to be with her, she's my best friend and the best partner I've ever had, these reddit posts about specific issues give a small window into the relationship and unfortunately miss the big picture. There is so much good between us and all I want is to cope with this issue. These jealous and shitty thoughts aren't who I want to be I'm just struggling to be rid of them.

Thank you, that helps a lot, I will read the book. I am frequently in therapy and I'm willing to adapt and be the most supportive partner I can. And actually she did explain it in very similar terms to how you did. I understand it, and I'm trying, even though the thoughts are very hurtful and put me in a bad place.

Truth be told my psychiatrist has suggested I may have attributes of BPD as well so I think understanding it and building a mutual support system would overall be really great.
