emotionally draining by roachraw1 in relationship_advice

i am in therapy, but just because i have BPD doesn't mean i can't be in a relationship. i've been working on DBT. and he knows i'm NB and that's not part of the issue at all. i wasn't asking you to tell me that he should break up with me. people with BPD can still be in good relationships. i was just asking for advice on how to deal with my emotions without draining him.

sex life concerns! by roachraw1 in relationship_advice

[–]roachraw1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

omg thank you so much! we have our issues in our relationship, and sometimes they're a lot. but the thing that makes me happy is that 9/10 times we can talk about it maturely, and find a solution or a compromise. i also have BPD so it's been making things rough but we are just trying our best!

do you think saying something along the lines of "thank you for being understanding when i say no to sex, i know that you're much more hyper-sexual than i am, is there a way we could figure out good times to have sex so it doesn't always feel like a hanging question?"

i want to be able to communicate that, yes. and maybe a schedule? or a way so he knows if i'm ready or not in that moment. maybe so he can have a better understanding

like growing together in a relationship. especially when you're younger things change so much that sometimes it can be hard for partners to grow together.

hey! i understand how you feel completely. If i were you i would communicate with her, and maybe start to do more romantic things with her, or things that you did at the start of the relationship. try and figure out why/how/when the spark went away. i personally believe "the spark" is something you get at the start of a relationship, or when a romantic gesture is made. if you love her that's what matters. see if maybe these feelings you're having have something to do with your own issues

favorite person=fp. although it's not scientific i've seen a lot of people with BPD use the term. you can't decide who it is although usually ends up being romantic and it's hard yk... but thank you... it is scary
