What is it about us, the people who love the pwBPD, that makes us take them back after they have broken our trust? Normally, people break up with cheaters, liars and toxic people, but when it comes to pwBPD, so many of us take them back even after they have left us after treating us so badly. So what is it about us that makes us easy prey for their manipulations? Are we gullible, hopeless romantics, desperate, kind hearted or what? For me, I would say I didn’t have enough self-respect to break it off earlier. Now, I have grown in self-respect, I won’t take her back unless she shows changes after many months of sobriety and therapy. Otherwise, it’s no contact. So what is it about us that we love such unworthy people?
