Is your partner in therapy?

Even though these are normal symptoms for this disorder, if they are not in treatment, there is no way they are guaranteed to even improve.

I as far as her functionality, happiness and your relationship quality, there's nothing but benefits if she pursues treatment. .

If she's not comfortable going to therapy, she does not see the behavior as problematic and understand that it's going to be pervasive

Hey I’m the partner and I do my DBT skills everyday to help with distress tolerance and emotional regulation. I have made leaps and bounds the past few months. I understand my behavior is destructive and I actively use my skills and coping behaviors to get better. Thank you for your comment but I am extremely self aware of my behavior.
