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.
