date the person who says, “have fun, be safe, and call if you need anything” not the person who gets mad at you for going out w/o them
hi… ever heard of… bpd…?
hi… ever heard of… not excusing your own abusive behaviors on account of mental illness…?
BPD: I’m going to have a hard time trusting that you still care about me when you’re gone. Could you please text me once or twice? I understand if you can’t but it would help. If not, I’d like to be able to talk to you when you get back to reestablish my emotional stability in our relationship. It’s not because I don’t trust you rationally but this kind of touching base during and after will help me counteract the traumatic feelings the delusional thoughts my BPD causes me. Would that be alright?
Abusive: You made plan without me? Why don’t you ever think about me, about us? God, no, just go.
Date the person who is upfront about their limitations as people, not the ones who use those limitations as excuses for bad behaviour.
