"I'm still learning to talk about it, but I guess I wanted to mention the Borderline thing because of how it impacts the healthy partner in a relationship.  And due to the nature of my particular brand of crazy, I wasn't able to properly observe the "campsite rule" and I feel badly for the amount of emotional damage you inevitably incurred during the course of our time together.  Hopefully I've given you enough information that you can reflect on it, bring it up with a therapist (if you desire), I don't know.  If all you deduce is "that ho was nuts," that's okay too.  Emily, "Good Me," not mental Me very much wants You to be happy and have healthy, fulfilling relationships.  You are a good person and a good partner and you deserve the things that you want.  &lt;3 "

We've been apart for 8 months.  Things were tough and I was testing him.  He went to stay with a friend to "get a break" while I was particularly rageful and abusing alcohol.  I threw all his stuff outside.  We broke up.  It was so hard for both of us.  He really, really loved me but ultimately couldn't deal with my symptoms.  

A few months after our breakup I was hospitalized for 2 weeks following a suicide attempt.  His kindness during this time... I'm honestly tearing up.  He took care of my animals, talked to my job's HR, dealt with my friends, etc.

A few days ago, he had the decency to inform me that he had a new girlfriend and she would be entering his social media presence.  I... freaked out (wow shocking right?).  I thought I was dealing "ok" with the breakup but this information just shattered me.  So we talked on the phone and things were good.  I will miss him so much and it's SO painful but I'm trying to just focus on him, and what an unbelievably kind person I had the pleasure of being with.
