I once dated a girl for a while but we stopped dating because she was just too BPD for me to handle. The passion & sex were great, but the mood swings, lies, paranoia, etc. were just too much.
We remained friends though for a very long time. Went out separate ways but were always in touch. Eventually she got into drugs & dating real bad dudes, and I tried to get her to get a grip and stop the drugs & ruining her life. She ghosted me. Eventually she responded (or rather her boyfriend did) that she was in a psych ward for rehab. Or friendship resumed when she got out.
A year later she died. I met her family at the funeral, befriended them. One day I mentioned her psych ward stay. Her mom said she was never in a psych ward. Her mom pulled up texts on her phone from the date range when she allegedly was in the ward.
The whole thing was a sham. She told me she was in the psych ward / rehab to get me off her back. The txt from her bf was just her.
I miss my friend dearly, but finding that out broke my heart.

Let him go. Folks all the way on bpd bullshit just leave you wrecked until you decide to stay away. Maybe he’ll get better, I’ve had respected friends and partners who did, but it ain’t worth waiting for.

Both are fun. Then we can do a crazy ex girlfriend off.
