Involved with someone with BPD
OK so on the Rio thread someone asked me to post about my experiences with someone with BPD.
To preface I am 38, American. I think women find me cute and attractive but not super handsome.
About 3 years ago I met a 10/10 girl in Mexico City on seeking, she is now 24. We had an instant connection. Then didn't see each other for 2 years and reconnected a year ago. The 2nd time around it wasn't as much about money as it was a real relationship / travel ect ect.
Well it turns out she has severe borderline personality disorder. And being involved with someone like that, it's taxing and will mess you up in the head as well. Except it's very hard to separate yourself from it.
I guess my takeaways are the age old phrase 'you can't turn a ho into a housewife'.
When people on here give the advice SA is best when you keep an arrangement and its for play only; it's probably strong advice.
If you meet or have an inkling someone you meet and have sex with has BPD, run away before you start developing attachments to them, because once those unhealthy bonds form they are much more difficult to break.
