Here’s a (long) story that a reader wrote in to me about his experience with a BPD relationship.

As with most people who find my website, they are looking for a way to have a romantic, fulfilling relationship with someone who suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder.

Of course that is easier said than done. So, I want you to check out this story that was sent to me and see if you can find all the mistakes that this man made in his relationship.

The Truth About Online “Dating” and How To Succeed At It

by Rick Leave a Comment

I can’t stand online dating. It’s can be an absolute shit show. Especially in today’s crazy world of dating and relationships.

But, I also know how addicting it can be to swipe left and right hoping to match with someone who seems to be your specific type.

As a man who played the online dating game in big cities for years, it can be like a drug that you just can’t free yourself from.

There was a period in my life where I was meeting 3-4 women (or more) every single week from Tinder and other various dating sites.

Can Breaking Up Get Your Ex Back? Here’s Why You Got Dumped

by Rick 2 Comments

The biggest problem I have with 99% of the “ex back” information on the internet is the lack of truth that they feed you.

Specifically, that if you follow some sort of technique or tactic, that your ex will come crawling back to you in love again.

Because it’s such a load of shit, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you how to actually get an ex back — no stupid tactics needed.

Can You Be Too Alpha? Yes, And You’ll Get Rejected Constantly

by Rick Leave a Comment

One of the big problems men face these days is this idea that they need to be alpha males in order to get into a great relationship.

The reason this is a problem is because most men take this advice the wrong way and become insecure narcissists that dislike women.

Whether they were always deep down douchebags is a question for another day. What I can certainly tell you is that your mind has the power to create your reality.

No, Valentine’s Day Isn’t Just For Women

by Rick Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year again — Valentine’s Day!

If you’ve been reading my writings for a few years, you may recall that I always go on a rant on Valentine’s Day.

However, the “problem” I’m having today is finding something to rant about.

Lately, every single email in my Free Newsletter I’ve written has been me ranting. So, I’m not sure what I can rant about when I’m always ranting in the first place.

And what isn’t there to rant about?

How To Be Less Needy and Clingy In Relationships

by Rick 6 Comments

Out of all the problems I help people with in their relationships, being less needy and clingy in relationships takes the top spot.

Neediness is, by far, the biggest turnoff. If you want your partner to push you away and lose feelings for you, be as needy as possible. It will get the job done.

The problem is that most people aren’t aware of their needy behavior. You don’t realize how clingy you have been. As a result, you wake up one day ghosted without a clue.

If You Love Her, Should You Pursue Her or Let Her Go?

by Rick 2 Comments

If you’re in love with a woman and think you need to pursue her, read this article before you fall into the friendzone.

I came across an article the other day about how if a man truly loves a woman, he won’t stop pursuing her.

If you’ve read any of my writings before, you’ll know how silly of a statement that is to make. Luckily, this article is on a blog for women so it’s not really designed for men to read.

Those types of websites try to give women good feelings. The author is probably a bitter women who is trying to cope with the pain of being dumped by her ex boyfriend.

5 Ways To Fix and Rebuild A Broken Relationship

by Rick Leave a Comment

If you’re interested in fixing and rebuilding your broken relationship, then you’ll want to read this article.

The internet is full of people giving their opinions about how to fix a broken relationship and rebuild it to what it once was.

But isn’t that exactly what I’m doing here? Of course! The internet is an amazing place where we can all share our opinions about relationships.

Even better, if you don’t agree with someone, you simply hit the back button and find somebody else. This is especially true with relationships because we all have our own unique situations.

Perhaps you’re dating a narcissist. Or maybe you’re simply looking for happiness. Either way, the power is in YOUR hands to research what you want.

Can Narcissist Have Healthy Relationships? Fall In Love?

by Rick 11 Comments

Are you concerned that you may be dating a narcissist? Worried that your boyfriend or girlfriend is incapable of loving you? Then keep reading this article about narcissist relationships.

If you’re wondering how to get a narcissist to love you, you’re not alone. In fact, narcissism search trends have skyrocketed in recent years according to Google.

In the 8 years of running this website, I’ve never written an in-depth guide about narcissism and relationships. So, I’m excited to write about this. It’s been a long-time coming because many people who are codependent end up in relationships with narcissists.

Because the narcissist tends to lack empathy and emotional maturity, it’s difficult for them to have healthy relationships and experience unconditional, true love.

With that said, it isn’t impossible. These people aren’t sociopaths or psychopaths. They aren’t completely devoid of emotions. They may be self-absorbed most of the time, but that doesn’t mean they can’t improve and become better.

6 Bad Habits That Ruin and Destroy Relationships

by Rick Leave a Comment

I love talking about bad relationship habits. When your partner pushes you away, I can guarantee that it’s due to some sort of bad habit you’re (most likely) clueless about.

Make no mistake: getting yourself into a healthy, successful relationship is the result of having good habits.

So much of everything you’ll read about when it comes to improving your life is about how to develop these good habits that other people use successfully in their lives.

Depending on your upbringing, you may have several life-crippling bad habits. These can be small things as well as big things.

And, when you get into a relationship, these habits will have a negative effect on the relationship. They will (quickly in most cases) lower your level of attractiveness in the eyes of your lover.

7 Ways to Strengthen and Improve BPD Relationships

by Rick Leave a Comment

I have a soft spot in my heart for borderlines because my first relationship was with a girl who has BPD. In fact, I’ve dated several borderline women over the years.

These relationships can be extremely difficult when you don’t have the knowledge and the skills needed to be with these people.

And, depending on the level of her personality disorder, it could very well be impossible to have a healthy relationship with her.

But, that shouldn’t prevent you from at least trying to make it work. Which is why I’m here with this website and why I’m passionate about helping men and women succeed in borderline relationships.

First things first: I’m not a doctor. This article is simply my personal advice if you’re trying to help someone with BPD seek treatment and improve themselves.

by Rick 234 Comments

So you’re dating a girl with BPD eh? I know every article on the internet tells you to run from borderline women, but I do things differently around these parts.

My relationship history is full of attractive BPD women. A decade of drama and chaos to put it lightly…

But, I made it out alive and have managed to remain amazing friends with many women who (most likely) have BPD. Some still refuse to admit they have aren’t perfect ;)

Anyway, BPD is a Cluster B personality disorder that is rather common these days from my experience.

According to a quick Google search, Borderline Personality Disorder is “characterized by dramatic, overly emotional or unpredictable thinking or behavior.”

I have dated dozens and dozens of women over the years. I can confidently say that you’ll find these characteristics in most women, lol.

A powerful set of relationships mindsets are the answer for dating women with BPD.

If you’re worried that your boyfriend might be a sociopath and is incapable of love and emotions, then you need to read this article.

Are Single Women Happier Than Women In Relationships?

by Rick Leave a Comment

The other day, I came across an article that talked about why single women are happier than women in relationships.

The author tried to make the argument than the longer a woman is single, the happier she will become.

So, I’m going to give my own take on this subject and give you the truth about women and relationships.

I will give the author some credit. She states that a lot of women end up unhappy in relationships due to having shitty boyfriends. I agree with this statement.

Here’s Why Women Date Awful, Deadbeat Losers?

by Rick 6 Comments

One of the most common questions I get is this:

Why is it that women (especially young women) choose to date these awful, deadbeat losers instead of successful, hard-working, stable guys?

It all comes down to the way women are with their emotions.

And, in this social media age we live in, the deadbeat loser can really spike a woman’s emotions to obscene levels.
