There is often a role spouses/significant others play in Borderline Personality Disorder relationships. People with PBD are often intelligent. They find creative ways to manipulate situations, but their neurological functioning does not allow them to act with wisdom. This causes them to appear crazy and out of control. Therefore, we discredit everything they say and do which is not always the way to go because there is oftentimes a foundation for how they are acting. Their significant other may be ignoring or mistreating them in some way There is always a cycle. The BPD individual is looking for a lot of attention and intensity. When that is not provided, the BPD individual will get angry. It is hard to know if there is true neglect by the spouse but there may be. It is important to consider what attracted the spouse to the relationship? The emotional intensity that attracted them in the beginning eventually will be the painful death of the relationship unless one or both of them is mature enough to do something about the the cycle before its too late!
