Reply To: “I’m Losing Hope in My Relationship”

It sounds like you are more in love with the idea of being in love than actually in love with this particular person, who isn’t acting at all loving towards you. You also seem to have decided to become the one who protects and fixes him. BPD is serious. It doesn’t get better if not professionally treated. This is beyond your expertise to deal with. Don’t feel guilty to MOA. If he is to navigate life at all successfully, then he needs to learn to treat those close to him far better than he treats you. If his parents aren’t getting him help, perhaps he would be willing to talk to your schools’ guidance counselor. They’ve seen BPD before.
