“Shoot myself to love you; if I loved myself I’d be shooting you.” – Marilyn Manson
What is a way to have a happy relationship and life with someone with a borderline personality disorder?
This is a great question. The answer is actually more simple than you may have expected. The best way to have a happy relationship with someone with BPD is to understand the disorder. Understand why they do what they do. Ask them for clarification if needed. Never jump to conclusions when working with someone with BPD. Nothing is what it seems. Know that any "manipulative" behavior is not on purpose. Most people with BPD don't know they seem like they're being manipulative. Know that a common symptom of BPD is fear of abandonment. Always let your SO know that you love them and are there for them. Also be there to help them through emotional instability as this may cause impulsive and self-destructive, risky behavior. Help them keep their mind occupied.

Loving someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) ((ROMANTICALLY OR PLATONICALLY))
1) Tell them what’s real. Have them tell you what’s real. Whether it’s the color of their shirt or how much they are needed.
2) Be there. Just be there. For them, or with them. Sometimes the most calming thing can be laying in bed (or on the floor!) with them in silence. Just having another person with them.
3) The little things means everything. The actual idea that you have taken a second to not tell us, but show us will be something we hold onto.
4) Reassure them constantly that you love them. Keep them in the loop of your life, even if it’s just a text saying you love them or what you’re up to today.
5) They will think you’re angry with them for no obvious reason to you, and then you’ll get annoyed that they think that. Don’t. Our minds have a way of making us think any and everyone hates us.
6) They will push you away. They’re scared. It is nothing against you. Typically, it means they’re scared of how close you’re getting. This is a great time for hugs (with consent!)
7) They will love you. They feel so deeply and sometimes it’s so, so hard but they will never ever want to be without you.

Sadness comes in waves.
The thing no one tells you about grief is that it’s ten times harder to grieve someone that is still alive. Sadness comes in waves and the waves become a swell whenever I see you.
I’m hurt at the source of it.
I’m hurt and I’m broken and I’m desperate and I’m saying things I don’t really mean because that’s ten times easier.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry and no copy paste because sorry should be felt with every stroke of the keyboard. Sorry should be eaten repeatedly until apologies spill out of you like drinks from last night.
I’m sorry. Why can’t sorry fix anything? Have previous people used it so much that it’s just become irrelevant? Like hearing a song so many times that when someone asks you what it’s about you can’t even remember.
I wish my sorry was a cell that could flow through you and repair any fragments I left behind. I wish my sorry could erase all of the tears that you’ve cried.
I wish my sorry could make you look at me like you loved me.
