Sure. I knew a guy whose BPD girlfriend had massive emotional outbursts. For example, once they were at a restaurant and the waiter got her order slightly wrong. She started yelling and crying uncontrollably. It was so embarrassing for him. Another time, when he was a few minutes late coming home, she completely lost it and threw things around the house.
There are many such stories. A man told me about his BPD girlfriend who would have emotional outbursts during holidays. Like on Christmas, if she didn't get the exact present she wanted, she would start screaming and saying how he didn't care about her. These outbursts made it difficult for him to enjoy any special occasions and he was always worried about what might set her off.
One horror story could be about a person with BPD who had extreme mood swings. In a matter of minutes, they could go from being calm and friendly to screaming in anger at their loved ones. Their partner never knew what would set them off, and it created a very tense and unpredictable living situation.
Sure. A common emotional horror story is the pressure and judgment. Some couples may face criticism from family members or society for not being able to conceive naturally. And when they turn to in vitro fertilization, the long waiting period between procedures and the constant worry of failure add to their emotional distress.
There was a man with BPD who was in a work environment. He had trouble with criticism. When his boss gave him some mild feedback on a project, he took it very personally. He felt like he was a total failure and almost quit his job. But with the support of a coworker who understood a bit about BPD, he was able to see that the criticism wasn't a personal attack and worked on improving himself in a more positive way.
One couple in an open marriage found that the emotional toll was too great. The wife fell in love with another man, and when she told her husband, he was devastated. He thought they could keep their relationship purely physical with others, but the emotional aspect changed everything. It led to a long and painful period of trying to decide whether to end the marriage or try to salvage what was left, causing both of them a great deal of emotional distress.
Well, I heard about a situation where a man's BPD girlfriend would often threaten self - harm when they had an argument. It was really terrifying for him. She also had a tendency to isolate him from his friends and family. She would make him feel guilty if he wanted to spend time with others, claiming that he didn't love her enough. This kind of controlling behavior is quite common in some of these horror stories.
