I have BPD. The thing is, I HATE when people mimic me. It's a huge trigger, probably because I was bullied for 10 years when younger and that was one of their techniques.

When we have a fight, my partner often mimics me. I have told him 4-5 times that I hate it, that I feel like crap because of it and that it's a trigger. I always start crying like crazy because I don't feel like he respects me during fights.

After a fight he says he doesn't do it on purpose, "it just happens when he's angry". He doesn't apologize if I don't ask him to. Yesterday we had a huge fight because he misunderstood me. I tried to explain I didn't mean anything bad by saying what I said, that it was just a misunderstanding, and he started mimicing me with a mocking voice, just like before.

I lost my shit and yelled that if he does it one more time during any fights, I'll leave him. I don't want to be triggered by purpose and it seems like he isn't going to stop anytime soon. I mean if he "doesn't even notice mimicing me" how is he going to stop?

Our relationship is mostly great otherwise. I feel like shit. Why is he doing this? Why isn't he even trying to stop? Yesterday especially has made me shaky and weepy. I don't feel as safe as before. I don't even know why I'm writing here. Probably to get some opinions and stories of your own. :(
