So, some said 'no', some said 'maybe', some said 'traits', and I have obsessed about this, driving myself even more crazy.
But, the bottom line is I have a horrible intimate relationship with my husband. It never got any better because neither of us changed or compromised or gave in.
I just can't stand him and need to get myself out.
Instead, I am wishy-washy, verbally abusive to him, physically abusive to myself- and yes, exhibiting all the traits of BPD!
He is steadfast. He's a inactive person, who turns on the TV and spaces out. He will NEVER initiate sex with me the way that I want it. I will become angry and my mood become disordered forever, coping with this man!
Today, I am taking one step in the right direction towards leaving him. Tomorrow, I will take another...

Tisha --
You can't say you didn't try. You can't say you tried to blame all your problems on him. You stayed this long because despite how torturous it has been for you, you have felt sympathy for him and are a fair person from my POV.
Our situations are different but I also find myself wondering how much of my mental issues come from dealing with my husband--who is a good person but very difficult to deal with plus there are things that we will never agree on.
Divorce will be difficult but so is marriage. I am sorry you are so traumatized by all of this. Thinking of you during this difficult time.....
