I was diagnosed 5 weeks ago with BPD. My husband hasn't been taking to it too well. He hasn't read up on BPD at all (despite being given lots of info sheets by my psychiatrist). He initially agreed to see a psych as he is becoming very resentful. He has now decided he doesn't need to see anybody as asking as I'm good, he's good. If I am having a bad day I try to use strategies I have learnt so far in therapy and reiterate to him that I'm getting lots of support but it takes time, he always replies with - how much longer will it take them to fix you? Or, well if they're working on that with you then how long till your cured? The lack of understandings means his expectations of me are unrealistic. 

Has anybody else been in a similar situation? How long did it take your partner to come to terms with it? Was there anything you found helped your partner understand easier?
