I have been in a relationship off and on for about 5 years. We have a 3 year old daughter together. He asked me to marry him and I said no because I didn't think a marriage would survive my BPD. I have trouble communicating. The main issue we argued about was that I don't talk to him. When I finally told him that I was Bipolar, he immediately got online and began reading everything he could find about it. It was like he became an overnight expert on BPD and he always wanted to talk about it and ask me questions. I get agitated and angry when he (or anyone) asks me question about my life...my family, my past, my daily routine, work. I feel closed in and overwhelmed and I'm either so angry that i'm screaming and cursing or I shut down completely and don't say a word. Even with all this, he still wants us to at least live together. I keep saying no because I do not want to expose our daughter to the constant bickering. I have always been quiet, shy, reserved...but even for me, I feel like this is not normal. I don't know how to open up to him (or anyone) and i'm not sure if I even want to. I've suggested that we see each other now only if it's related to our daughter but he's not happy with that and refuses to agree to it. I don't know what else to do.
