Living with a bpd

I've been married for 14 years and I am now convinced that my husband has bpd. Of course we have never had it officially diagnosed but I've done alot of research on the Net and I think I've got it right. It has been 14 years of some ups and many downs. It's the constant anger that gets to me, actually it's the cold treatments, the always "the world is always wrong", it's the "you are the problem not me". I am at my limit and I want to know how some "real" people (not books) have been dealing with it.

Thanks Sonia12man, but that's part of the problem, he won't see anyone and my psychologist tells me I need to see about me but how do I do that? Effective methods on how to deal with his behaviours.

Go to the doctor on your own first and asked them for help at home. then if they explain the illness to you and how it works. get back home and may be give him something about it to read. Be serious and don't joke about it. Once you seat him down and explain to him that it is important he takes the test he might consider it. keep trying there's nothing impossible in this world. every thing is possible . Keep a positive mind and keep trying.

2 of my ex's have BPD, and one I was with for 8 years, so I understand what you're going through. It is externally difficult, but with therapy it is manageable so I hope that you are able to get your husband to go. It is also extremely helpful to go yourself so you can learn to manage with it!
