220"Abusive Expectations"

    Or is it so much what it says in
    http://www.recovery-man.com/abusive/bpd_abuse.htm
    and I quote

    "ABUSIVE EXPECTATIONS: People with BPD generally lack self-soothing
    skills - they are unable to calm themselves and typically look for
    this soothing from their partners. The person with BP may place
    unreasonable demands on their partner and want the partner to put
    everything else aside to tend to their needs. People with BPD expect
    that relationships will ease the chronic emptiness they feel, and can
    become resentful and enraged when the relationship fails to meet
    their every need. Abusive relationship expectations may include
    demands for constant attention, frequent sex, a requirement that you
    spend all your free time with the person, or give up everything else
    in your life. Because these expectations are based in the chemical /
    emotional imbalance no matter how much you give, it's never enough.
    You may be subjected to constant criticism, and are berated because
    you can't fulfill all this person's needs."
