Quiet BPD dating: is it difficult and can they truly heal using therapy?

It's very difficult and they are most probably not open to serious relationships.

It's very difficult, but it's worth a shot.

It's not that difficult, as long as they work on themselves every day and you support them.

It's definitely worth a chance (just make sure they're up for it, and not just think they're up for it)

If you're asking if someone can heal borderline personality disorder, I have never heard of that happening. I wouldn't be surprised if it does happen, but I don't know for sure. Although I do know a number of them are very high functioning and it is not a great inhibitor in their life.

But dating someone who has a borderline personality disorder? Someone who has not addressed it? That is extraordinarily risky and not worth it

It was rough for a good while, but she's mellowed out a bit in terms of aggression and a bit in her paranoia. Therapy has been good for her, dialectic behavior therapy, but she refuses medication. Im entirely sure if they can heal from it really.

From what I've seen from friends who've dated someone with BPD, my advice would be: avoid it like the plague.
