I read something comparing object permanence (I.e. when babies play peekaboo) to some borderlines in their relationships. For example, when my partner isn’t constantly assuring me that they love me or I don’t see them often, I feel like those feelings aren’t there. I related to this strongly and I’ve always looked for a way to describe it, and have been experiencing this with my current boyfriend. I’ve been using my DBT skills and trying to reason with myself, but it’s still difficult. Does anyone else experience this?
