BOD is a really tough disorder to cope with as both a sufferer and as a partner. From experiences and interactions I've had, unless you're willing to deal with a lot of unnecessary drama and having to be a sort of commanding/parental figure in the relationship, it's best to try and get out of it in a respectful manner.
My friend who has BPD relies heavily on their fiancé to help manage the finances, appointments and event planning in their relationship due to the impulsiveness and instability that they suffer from.

@NeighFlowers Yet, you keep friends with them? Probably cause you feel you should, the same kind of compassion should be offered here. All of that expressed, the OP needs to know her boundaries, how she can help, what she can accept.... as if she can't, she's not helping him (I'm presuming she loves him)

@thewindupbirdchronicles I think it'd be kind of dickish of me to call someone who moved to the otherside of the country and say: 'I don't want to be friends anymore cause of your BPD' lol
There's also a big difference between dateing someone with BPD and being friends with someone who has it.
