Hi. I need some engagement about how to respond to my partner’s jealousy.


My boyfriend has BPD &amp; I realize that I was very cold earlier when he confessed to me that his jealousy was a bit overwhelming. I care about him &amp; I don’t want him to feel as if I’m not trying to understand his disorder. He’s taken the time to learn about my ASPD. The least I can do is this. 


I understand that pwBPD tend to feel a certain way where they see other people interacting with their FP regardless of the basis. I do not mind the sentiments (he doesn’t act out or punish me for spending time with others so this isn’t a relationship where either of us are being mistreated) but I don’t exactly know what to do or say in those moments where he’s expressing to me that he finds particular people/their behaviors to be “weird” when they’re being affectionate towards me. I suppose you could say that I’m asking how to reassure someone or provide some sort of support 


I have ASPD, I am very detached from the sentimental side of things  &amp; I also don’t read into things because things aren’t ever that deep for me. But it’s become apparent that I need to be a bit more present to learn how to navigate these situations if they come up again the future.
