can a person with BPD be happy in a relationship with a BPD partner

[Left broken and confused]

I am just curious if a person that has BPD would be happier in a relationship with someone else that is borderline? Seems 2 people that need so much attention would either be a nightmare or a match made in heaven

I'm sorry I don't know the answer. I did find this on our site.

Well... . Unfortunately, two mentally ill people usually can't create a respectful, compatible relationship.

borderline in both partners ? does it work?

I understand the best mix is a sociopath an a borderline though it always ends badly ( very ) for the borderline

Indeed.  Sociopath is the apex predator in the cluster B pantheon.  None of the borderlines manipulation will have any effect on the sociopath (who has no emotions to exploit) and the sociopath will exploit the BPD abandonment fears mercilessly.

Sadly many pwBPD are attracted to sociopaths.

NPD and Bpd has a dynamic to it which seems to hold together well.

I can't see two BPD having any stability to hold together long term.

HPD and BPD would be probably the most insane combination you could get.

Icant see it working. How can you mirror a mirror?
