[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who your spouse is hasn’t changed.  They are just now diagnosed and can learn a little more about themselves and receive treatment.

Whether or not your marriage survives kind of depends.  [b]Borderlines typically marry narcissists.[/b] It’s likely that as your spouse gets more mentally healthy and their self esteem improves, they won’t put up with your crap anymore.  You will both have to change for the arraign to work.

What? No. Borderlines typically ARE narcissists. [/quote]

No. BPD and NPD are two separate cluster B personality disorders that share some overlapping traits.

Many BPDs exhibit narcissistic tendencies but that does not make them narcissists. These are clinical terms, not just descriptors of personality.

BPD and NPD are a classic pairing, and the longer the relationship with the BPD is the more likely fore the partner to be NPD b/c frankly a non-NPD could not handle a BPD for very long. They usually bail, or are bailed on.
