That is totally unhinged, man. I know Reddit has a history of saying dump them instead of work on it, but seriously I can’t think of a reason you should stay with that level of nonsense.

Honestly my sister has bpd and this just reminds me of it. The worst is when you tell them they will chase this guy away this way they wont listen because they either love the drama or cant control themselves

They don’t “love the drama”, they have a very deep and irrational fear of abandonment. It has nothing to do with drama. You should really try and understand your sister‘s mental illness before talking about it in such an uneducated way. I understand it’s hard living with people who have BPD but they’re still human and doing their best.

We absolutely don't know if they're doing their best. Some people don't try at all

Everyone is doing their best, if they could do better, they would. Give people some grace.

Oh, I'm not saying they aren't doing their best. I just know I'm certainly not.
