I fell in love with a woman who had BPD and I couldn’t take the fighting and overreacting so I broke it off. When I learned of her diagnosis it made me wonder if she ever really loved me or if she was in the relationship just to not be alone. We went through the classic love bombing, devalue, discard steps and it’s taken me years to realize that the sheer bliss I felt in the first stage wasn’t real, it was her setting her hooks in place. I was also working for her, so breaking it off meant losing my job. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make but I still wonder if she ever loved me for real.
