I'm BPD and DID!! I must be terrible, but my partner wants to be with me nevertheless. I will never understand why, and I will never be sure if he's lying or telling the truth, but I am happy, and I love him and I want to make him happy.
And if you Kendyll, feel that way about your bf, don't break up with him. DID is tough to deal with, BPD is tough to deal with but it doesn't mean it can't work out. From what I've read, you've gotten well along with your bf's alters and that is very good! It is exactly the right thing to do. If you don't want to take the alters seriously (like some disgusting sites advise) - that will be a problem.
Also, I heard about BPD that we identify with vampires because they drain people's emotional strength and take please in it. That BPDers need that to live. I have to disagree with that. Even though I'm constantly afraid of being left alone, I will never cling to anyone or demand constant attention.
So not all with BPD are like that... and if they are they can go to Ts and stuff to learn new ways to deal with things like that!
No need to worry about some people speculating, Kendyll. :-) it seems you've gotten some wonderful advice already but I felt compelled to reply...
