It’s pure hell is what it is. Been married to a female with borderline personality disorder fit 12 years and have thrown my life away in doing so. Thrown away in every possible way. My suggestion, if you EVER find your self in a relationship with someone with a personality disorder, if you find that out or IT becomes apparent, …. Run as fast as you can. These people seem to be … they ARE…. unable to feel or reciprocate any true and sincere care or love. They may ‘fake it’, but they are just parroting try emotions they see in others but are unable or unwilling to have themselves . Every thing is manipulation with them . And I mean EVERYTHING! Constant gaslighting even when it’s been made obvious to both of you that they are constantly gaslighting . The borderline will almost always double down and continue with the psychological abuse . Sorry to anyone reading this that has PD, but if that’s you, you know what I’m saying is true .
