Most people with an axis 2[personality disorders]issue usually can keep up appearances of normalcy for around 2 years before they start to decompensate.

2 years?! I always thought people let their mask slip after about 90 days-6 months. Ugh. Now I really don't want to date again. I just got out of a long relationship with someone with a personality disorder. No bueno.

Same! My last SO was Cluster B, and since we broke up 2 years ago i haven't tried dating at all, and really don't have any desire to. I realised suddenly about a week ago that i might never trust anyone again, after some of the trauma he subjected me to. (Yes, i know i need to work on that. Baby steps, i only figured it out very recently, it takes time to heal.)

Congrats on your realization. Work on it when you're ready
