I've read a little about the nice guy/fixer mentality. My other long-term girlfriend had fixer aspects and ended up in a crazy mess. As for what attracted me to both of them, I think this played a role. There were many other reasons too, or maybe I should say two. They had good hearts and treated my incredibly, (of course the W changed). Beautiful. They were both laid back, no bs (I'm repulsed by fake), and very much able to just come along and party with the rest of us. Now that I have read more about BPD, they may have been so great in the beginning as part of the pulling me in stage.
