Hi everyone! Welcome to my life as a mate of a person with a borderline personality disorder. These are my stories, my thoughts, my research, my feelings, my trials, my decisions. I've decided to stick with her even though authorities tell me to run, run far and fast. I love my Borderline.

Red Flags (part 9)
- Kind to you usually only if they are getting from you what they want. - Yes. I absolutely can't say no to her or there will be hell to pay.
- They have to be right. They have to win. They have to look good. - Yes *sigh*
- They announce, not discuss. They tell, not ask. - Yes and I get accused of being a control freak if I complain.
- They do not discuss openly beforehand. You get to deal with after the fact information. - Yes. This one is very hard for me to deal with.
- They control money of others but spend freely on themselves and others. - Well, my money is spent freely on her but I dare not bring it up.
- You end up feeling responsible for the problem. They get to your feelings. No matter what, they win, you lose. - I do feel responsible. I thought that was just love.
- They win at the expense of your feelings. They think only of the end result without considering your feelings or needs in the process. - Yes. Sometimes my feelings are spared but not often.
- Attitude of "I'll meet your needs if you meet mine. If you don't, I'll find someone else who will or I will not meet yours." - My needs are rarely met unless I'm doing something for her. This is one I wrestle with in my mind. Can I handle this? Can I live with this? I keep telling myself yes but it's so hard.
- Unilateral condition of, "I'm OK and justified, so I don't need to hear your position or ideas." - Yes. Almost every day.
- They do not take responsibility for their behavior. - True. It's always someone elses fault.
- so far 67 out of 80
