what do you do when your favorite person has feelings for someone else? my wife/ex has bpd too and now she’s infatuated with someone new and i’m still infatuated with her. we’re best friends and roommates still so that makes it extra hard. i don’t know how to deal with the jealousy and the fear of abandonment and i don’t want it to ruin our friendship. and i have terrible social anxiety and no friends so finding a new favorite person isn’t an option lmao.

      When I get new FAvorite people I still genuinely love and care about the previous favorite people just as much. I just want to learn more about the new favorite people. In a way I guess you could say I collect them. So the new one gets attention but the old ones can too and I love them the same way I always did. I’ve learned over time how to set boundaries during breakups and friendship issues and I don’t think I would ever hurt my partner in this way but say I became FP with a platonic friend or a celebrity I would still love my partner for all the reasons I did when they were my FP But I have my little collection lol

      Hmm I’m not sure what to do specifically but in my bpd experience, please don’t rush or jump into decisions recklessly… it can ruin things for you 😅 I love love love my pros and cons lists. Learning to push your heart aside and let your brain guide, which I TOTALLY know is easier said than done.

      Well I don’t know personally how your friendship dynamic is with them but living with them will make it a lot harder definitely.
