But the idea of being married to a therapist....but, in thinking about it, it seems that we really don't think about them as real people do we? Just like the rest of us, they are not their professions, and I doubt that they are "analyzing" everyone 24/7. Otherwise, they'd never have a life outside of work. So, would I marry a therapist? The knww jerk reaction is no. But, would I marry someone who made their living as a therapist? I don't know, maybe. I've never had the opportunity to date one to even see.

Well put. I never said that either. I mean I personally don't think that any of my Ts have disliked me at all! I mean, granted BPD is difficult but they've chosen their field and I'd like to think that they know what they're getting into from the get go.
Another thing is, it's best to look at Ts as to what their specialties are if you can choose one that specializes in bpd or personality disorders at the very least. That way you can avoid any potential dislike for dealing with bpd.
