Your Partner And Your Sibling With Borderline Personality Disorder
It’s hard for him to know what’s real
Compulsive lying can be a part of BPD. So your partner can struggle to know what’s real. When your sibling tells him that she got a job working for a celebrity, or that she got engaged, he might, at first, want to throw a huge celebration for her. He doesn’t understand why the rest of you are sitting around, rolling your eyes. You know it will eventually be revealed that, she isn’t engaged. One man she spoke to on the Internet a few times said she was wife material, and she turned that into, “I’m engaged.”
