I can now safely say I can not handle dating someone with untreated BPD. Unfortunately this limits the t4t dating pool by about half :/ (this is meant lightheartedly)

I’m still not sure if I can handle it… like yeah, I’ve been able to set up boundaries & recognize that their pain isnt my fault, but they flat-out refuse to go to therapy despite having several issues that need professional attention. if they were willing to get treated, it’d be a whole different story, but their untreated symptoms are going to continue getting in the way of a healthy relationship

and there’s so much internalized ableism and aphobia (we’re both aspec) and like—all that’s going to come to a head at some point. having eventual conflicts in our relationship along with episodes could be extremely dangerous for them, and I’m so afraid of that…
