hi! I’ve been talking to guy for 6 months now but I’ve known him for about 2 years. And he’s been super open about his bpd and his struggles with it so I knew what I was getting myself into (kind of). My only issue is that he mentioned last night that he’s been pushing me away recently because he doesn’t want to hurt me. (Which isn’t really a decision for him to make unless he doesn’t want to actually be with me; I’ve stayed this entire time knowing I might get hurt but it’s worth the risk for him). He said I might get hurt in the long run bc usually in relationships (because of his bpd) he either randomly stops liking someone or he feels like he needs to find the next best thing. Obviously that hurt but I’m not going to take it to heart because he can’t control what his bpd causes him to think/feel (actions are a different story). I’m kinda just looking for advice on what my next step should be from someone with bpd? Is this something he’s saying because he’s scared I’m gonna leave or is he just looking for an out? I’ve been researching and joining forums to better understand bpd but it’s still a little hard to wrap my head around sometimes. Thank you!!
