My partner and I are also both DID...and it certainly can present some challenges! The therapist asked me once just exactly how many people lived in our house between the 2 of us and I told him I guessed about 75. We have found the most challenging aspect is when both parties are in crisis or in need of hospitilazation so neither one is emotionally available to help the other.
Personally, we find the benefits outweigh thechallenges. Our littles get to play with kids their own ages, teens get to hang out at the mall together, and adults of various genders and sexual preferences have a chance to relate to each other.
Our partner and us have been together nearly 5 years though, so we have had plenty of time to work out the kinks so to speak. There were definitely some rough patches early on.

My partner and I are both DID, she has mild OCD as do I. Both of us have SI issues on top. It can get complicated but it's worth it if you love eachother.

Maybe if you're both in therapy, whether it be seperately or together, you can work through things slowly.
If you both love eachother it's worth fighting extra hard for xx
