Partner and I have been seeing each other casually for almost a year and exclusively for about 5 months. He is fairly introverted with his feelings and of course this causes me much confusion. We have had discussions and he is aware that I was diagnosed with BPD.
 
I have found that it is difficult to feel like someone who doesn't have the diagnosis of BPD to understand what it feels like. DBT has of course been very helpful for me and is a continued work in progress. His stance is that there is nothing 'wrong' with me (which I agree with), but because he feels this way kind of backs away from learning more about BPD.
 
What are other's experiences and guidance for trying to get people to understand you better?
