Should I be concerned?

i just started seeing a guy that i immediately felt was the one for me. I recently ended a fucked up and abusive relationship with my boyfriend of 5 years. I felt a strong connection with this new guy and we have been in love since we met, besides a couple kinda big fights. I’m trying to determine how honest of a guy he is, considering I’ve been extremely forward with my own past, which is checkered. Regardless, I’m extremely loyal and tend to offer too much of myself in love. I keep hoping someone will match me in return but anymore i feel used and abused by the men i choose to keep.
So my question is this, I’m mainly asking those who either have a degree in psychology or who knows what it takes to get one. So this guy I’m seeing that just moved in with me claims he has 2 degrees, one psychology degree and one degree in criminal Justice. I don’t have a degree but i know more than the average person about psychology, and I’ve been professionally diagnosed with BPD. Is Borderline something that someone with a psychology degree would maybe not have any awareness of? He doesn’t seem to have any idea what it is. He’s implying that “Borderline” means nothing it’s a mute condition that exists on the fringe of all or none of the personality disorders. I’m i over reacting when i question his degree? I asked to see it and he tripped out. Is he just telling me lies? I’m scared of getting hurt again, my last boyfriend destroyed me cheating on me with who i thought were 2 of my best friends of 20 years. I’m so tired of being lied to I don't know wtf why! I’ve always been generous and kind and loving, admittedly i can have a short fuse but I’ve never called names or disrespected around other people. Is this guy full of shit too? Or is it possible he’s just not as familiar with Borderline in particular. I feel like he’d know. He’s basically responding to me questioning him with sarcasm and blatantly yelling at me that I’m fucked up. Is it me?

It's understandable that you would have concerns about this new guy you're seeing, especially given your past experiences with a partner who was abusive and lied to you. It's important to trust your instincts and to pay attention to any red flags that come up.

Regarding your question about whether someone with a psychology degree would be aware of borderline personality disorder (BPD), it's possible that someone with a psychology degree may not have a lot of experience or knowledge about BPD specifically, depending on their area of focus and expertise. However, it is generally considered to be a well-known and recognized mental health condition among mental health professionals.

It's concerning that he responded to your questioning with sarcasm and yelling at you. This is not a healthy or respectful way to communicate, and it's important to set boundaries and communicate clearly with him about what you expect in terms of communication and behavior in the relationship. If he continues to disrespect your boundaries and feelings, it may be time to reassess whether this relationship is healthy for you.
