I think I would always expect things "should" be this way, or they "should" know that without me telling them. Basically a whole lot of distortions kicking in because there was somebody else to interact with, and when they aren't there, there is no sense that you are not being validated. I think that even though your BPD symptoms are decreased it is still very worth while to work on the skills to help with them so if you get into another relationship you can help yourself and at the same time objectively help the other person understand what is going on. I know I have always wondered if a person with BPD was in a relationship with someone else who had BPD how it would work, I know my T say's to not go there.
I'm 90% certain that the last person I attempted to have a friendship with was also BPD. It was nightmareish. We both constantly brought each other down, reached the crisis point at the same time on several occasions, the BPD stuff came back MUCH worse than it had in many, many years, and now, here I am.
