So my partner has BPD, and I have dated another person with BPD before so there are some aspects that I can understand. Everyone is different though and people are going to well, be different.

But my partner and I have been seeing each other for maybe 8 months now, and we haven't had sex in four. There has also been a lack of affection in any way from them for just as long. I tried to talk about it with them a while ago, and say that I don't feel loved or that I don't feel that they're attracted to me. It's less about us not having sex and more about me feeling like I'm inadequate. They went on to say that it's not a me problem but a problem with them, and wouldn't voice anything else. The next couple of days they've shown me more affection, and it's nice to see them trying.  


I'm just wondering if I could have any insight into how my partner may be thinking. And want to say sorry if I am being ignorant in any way! Thanks.
