BD had BPD… Abusive?

My BD has BPD (borderline personality disorder) and is manic depressive. It is a constant roller coaster of emotional torment - I never know what version of him will walk through the door when he gets home. He really is a great dad though - very attentive to our daughter (5mo) and tries his best to care for her when I need a moment to myself. He is in therapy and is working towards bettering himself, but the decisions he makes creates a financially unstable home and an emotionally terrible partnership for me. He constantly belittles me, criticizes every move I make, and then complains how much he hates himself and his life. The worst part was the infidelity. When I was ~ 30 and 36 weeks pregnant he cheated on me with an ex girlfriend. He blamed it on being stressed and his BPD clouded his judgment. I was ready to leave, but he convinced me to stay. Now I lost my job because of my daughter and I’m a SAHM. I really don’t know what to do anymore. I have no family near me, no job, and he makes my life hell. It feels like I’m going crazy. What do I do??

I went through this also. Please get out. Message me if you ever need to talk

Please message me . I’m currently going through the same thing with my bd and 11 month old twin girls .

It’s so hard dealing with an emotionally unstable person all u want is peace.

@Alina anything but peaceful, and whenever I lose my shit , he tells me I need to “control my emotions” or he’ll mock me for being emotional and vulnerable. Like sir please make it make sense .

It’s also self sabotage. Due to their own poor judgment/ decision making and lack of financial stability then complaining how much they’re depressed or they can’t depend on anyone when there’s plenty of resources or family/friends who have and continue to reach out and help .

@Jezelle yeah i notice they project a lot like today my bd was like that I’m never going to take accountability but he’s literally talking abt himself just having a really bad attitude it’s the worst like talking to a wall

@Alina they’ll never take accountability. They tell on themselves by what they project that’s how I could tell my bd was also cheating as well and to this day continues to lie about it and downplay the relationship. I don’t understand it , whenever we’ve talked he just blankly stares at me completely emotionless.

Leaving is hard but when you look back in a year you’ll be so happy you did. You might have to struggle at first but at least you won’t have him holding you back and your daughter won’t have to grow up in a toxic household. Their brains are sponges. He can work on himself and get better for him. I’ve never cheated in a relationship. He’s blaming his mental health but he chose to do it, he didn’t expect to get caught. What state are you in? I can try to help you find resources if you want
