I dated someone with bipolar and borderline PD. It was hard. But I do think it’s manageable with honest and upfront conversation and communication. Your partner will need to also do some research to know what to expect and how to adjust and be sensitive to the different phases. It takes effort but can be as fulfilling as any relationship. All relationships take effort and each has its own challenges. Good luck!
