My girlfriend who fits the profile for BPD has a major problem with me not not getting aroused quickly enough as a result of which we do not have sex any more and I feel frustated and inadequate! I love her but would be interested in your comments
Hi
I understand and empathize with what you have been through.
My gf of 18 months played games with me all the time. She would allow me to express myself sexually and then at the height of passion or after getting me aroused inform me that she wasn’t interested. I would become frustrated and tell her
that none of my previous partners ever had this problem and then she would use my frustration against me. I would often end up leaving her house in the middle of the night and then
she would break up with me.
Her parents and friends are religious and would hear her stories and use this against me, never getting the full picture or accepting the other side of the story.
We have now broken up for the last five weeks, our 12th break up in 18 months, mostly instigated by her. This time
there is a restraining order on me which is totally unfair and
she has my child.
Stay away from BPD!
