Boyfriend has borderline personality disorder and wants a "break" - what now?

The last thing he wants is a break. I have had BPD now 28 years and I have always done the push pull thing. The push-pill IS seen as black and white to us, or me at least.. I use what you call 'splitting' behavior when I or someone I care about does something wrong or that is how I am seeing it. If I am the bad guy, I push. I tell the person I love all the time that I want a break but that is the last thing I want or need. He is still in contact with you.. I don't think he means it but I don't know for sure.
