When couples navigate personality disorders together

My partner was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder last year and we've been working through DBT together, but I'm realizing I might have some narcissistic traits that make me react defensively whenever they try to set boundaries, and we keep getting stuck in these cycles where my need to be right collides with their fear of abandonment.
