Do I stay with my partner just because she deals with me

So my partner of five months has dealt with BPD with her ex and her mom.

She herself is a sweet sweet human, and deals with my BPD symptoms really well and always forgives me. She can handle all of my spirals and outta control emotions. I am just now beginning therapy and just started meds so she really felt the deep bad sides of my symptoms.

While this is all true, she has some bad qualities herself that make me spiral more like looking at other women and not loving my body while I cherish hers...making me feel like I am not her type and that she is settling for me looks wise. (I have spoken to her about all this)

I am alot to deal with so...

Do I stay with her bc I feel like no one will accept my BPD? Do I owe her the same forgiveness that she gives me for all my instability and impulsivity? Or should I break up with her?
