BPD from the Husband's POV: The Roses and Rage of My Wife’s Borderline Personality Disorder
Patching the fist-sized hole in the wall…
…and sweeping up broken glass.
Just another day in your marriage to borderline personality disorder.
Maybe your spouse has never been officially diagnosed. Maybe you think the problems are mostly your fault. You’re beginning to wonder if every day doesn’t have to be a raging battlefield.
You are not the first husband to face this.
You can find explanations to her logic-defying actions.
There is finally a book written by a husband of a “Borderline” for the husbands of Borderlines in non-clinical, empathetic, “real-life” language.
With powerfully supportive reviews from therapists, spouses of BPD, and even those with BPD, this book has become standard reading for all members of the BPD community.
The author, Robert Page, has been through it weekends lost to arguments, endless false accusations, wild mood swings, manipulative threats, self-harm, being isolated from friends, public embarrassment, $1,000s in related expenses, and even criminal prosecution—all because he loved his wife too much to confront the root her borderline personality disorder. Sound familiar?
You don’t have to face being alone as a spouse of BPD. You can avoid the mistakes made by others, often involving emotional abuse, financial ruin, and even jail time. There are actions you can take to save your marriage, your happiness, and maybe even someone’s life.
Much more than an overview of BPD, you’ll learn all about the disorder through the cringe-inducing but always compassionate accounts of Page’s marriage to a BP. His “What I Wish I Had Done” revelations are invaluable!
You’ll be so relieved you found this book because you’ll see yourself in the riveting first-person accounts and realize there are roses to be found beyond the rage.

Coming from a wife with borderline...this book tells exactly what a husband goes through in marriage. How on earth my husband has been able to cope with me for the past 19 years is beyond my understanding. Please do not allow those that rated this book badly help you decide whether to read this book or not. Honestly, I believe the bad reviews come from the borderlines that are upset with how well this author exposes our behavior. Also, many people are still in denial or refuse to get diagnosed!

A must read!
Recommended reading for anyone in a relationship with a partner with BPD. While all situations are different, this book gets to the heart of the gripping emotional battles that a couple faces when struggling to recognize the logic of oneself , and each other. Heartfelt and heartwretching stuff.

Author is knowledgeable but acts blameless
Author blames all issues on his wife’s BPD without much accountability for his own lack of boundaries and how they escalated things

This was an AMAZING BOOK. Coming from someone who suffers from a mental disorder himself, and who has had several failed relationships of his own. This book was an EYE OPENER. I really enjoyed being able to see things from his perspective in terms of BPD and how it affected his marriage. I truly enjoyed the "What I did" and "What I wish I had done" moments of clarity that the author had throughout the book. It truly has given me a new insight into some of the common, TOXIC behaviors in my relationships, and in all relationships, that can be explained in ways other than how they appear on the surface. If your going through difficult times communicating with someone in your life that you love who is depressed or has abandonment or mental issues then THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. It could change your life or even save your marriage. READ IT.

This was very relevant to my own life's journey. The author's wife was much more volatile and violent than any experience that I can relate to, but his self talk and self blame were spot on with my own. His story very much rings true to me. His painful experiences seem to be far in his past while my own are quite fresh. I can only say that it took me much longer to begin any personal growth than the author. Still I am very grateful to have discovered this book and had a chance to try to learn from it.

Perfect for our needs
Someone I care about is divorcing someone with BPD. This book was so incredible helpful. We read it together and while obviously doesn’t change the past helps us understand the abuse he went though and helps him to feel better about his choices to keep trying to work it out.

Something different
This book invites us into an intimate look at a marriage shattered by BPD. It's a quick read but is packed with much information about the disorder and what the effects can be on a spouse. I think this book can help people in similar situations and I found it fascinating.

Great perspective from a different view
I'm a psych nurse so this was an interesting point of view. My clients with BPD are exactly this way. Something I found interesting was the suspicion of starting antidepressants... I'm curious if she did and if that did have an impact on her behaviors... we will never know!

Window To The Crazy
I really appreciated the real-life journaling that illustrated life with a BPD wife. As a mother-in-law, I needed to hear about the excision of family members from the scene. It has been over 5 years since we were shunned. We suspect our son is living in this type of hell, and so are our grandkids. The Crazy won.

Very good accounting of what most of us BPD partners go through. Sometimes its like living a nightmare. Other times its the most amazing relationship. It can go from 0 to 100 many times in one day.

Amazing
I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder myself & I saw A LOT of similar situations that could have been me & the way i have acted. I read this book & discussed it with my husband and he says the accounts are pretty spot on. Would definately recommend.
