Jess, this is all the more reason to see a T and work on this. Just because it's a symtpom of BPD that you form close relationships fast does not mean it's a healthy relationship or that it's with a healthy person. It may be a pattern for you because of the BPD but that doesn't mean you should excuse it or not examine if the relationships you create are healthy. I feel like you are blowing off the red flag here by saying "well, I have BPD, and this is normal for us." When in fact it's your disordered thinking that is causing you so much pain. You can address this in therapy and work towards healthier relationships. You do not need to settle for this person who has been abusive towards you.
