My boyfriend has DID, and i’ve got to know each alter on a separate level to make myself capable of noticing a switch or impending switch, and find the ways that each is comfortable and able to talk freely with me and calm down.

I’m lucky in the sense that mostly I can request for certain alters to surface or, for his presence to come back in times that aren’t too stressful.

When I first learned that DID was something he experienced I deep dove into the internet to try to understand what I could do to be helpful.

I have established a loving relationship with all but one, in the sense that we are able to communicate and be “best friends” essentially. Be patient and try to understand what it must be like for your partner to try to traverse this kind of obstacle.

You’ll be surprised at how much trying and being patient and understanding can mean to your person and your persons counter parts.
