Realising the damage done living with a person with borderline personality disorder is healing in knowledge.

Love isn't patient and kind with them.
Their kindness and patience are conditional upon fulfilling the impossible task of meeting their unreasonable expectations.
Love does not envy

You're not supposed to experience jealousy even when there's infidelity.

On the other hand, their jealousy is entirely justified even if they ended the relationship with you.
Love is not self-seeking.

Your love must be wholly self-sacrificing.
Don't expect even 1% of that in return.

Because your love must not be easily angered

Never raise your voice no matter what they do.

Accept all rage that comes your way no matter how destructive.
You must keep no record of wrongs.

Forgive and forget all their transgression.
Repent any mistake you made forever.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Truth is what their feelings dictate; evil is anything they find undesirable.

Forget impartial notions of truth and justice.
Because your love must always protect,

You must always be there for them, no questions asked.
If you're not, your just as bad as whatever they needed to be protected them.
Because your love must always trust,

Trust them even when you know they're lying and aren't also considering your interests in the slightest.

Accept that you will be distrusted due to their misdeeds.
Because your love must always hope and persevere.

You must hope for them to change even though they deny they need to.

You must persevere once you've lost everything and are entirely broken.
And if your love should fail,
Then you deserve the limitless wrath that ensues.

Talionic Impulses are the deepest and most ancient of human impulses to exact revenge by taking pleasure and inflicting on others the hurt one has experienced
You will heal though.

You might lose everything in the process and think you'll never get up again.

You'll will.

You'll feel like you'll never trust and love again.

You will

You must

You're going to

I promise you that
You have so much love to give.

One day when you're out of that blur, you'll realise this.

There isn't a timetable but when you're ready, you'll know

Rise above that blur and love again
