I married him! And although still married I would say think very very carefully. Depends on age, severity etc I guess but damn hard work at times. Part of the reason I play with Matt, a way to escape reality.
Good luck whatever you decide.

"Why would you want to do that? Sounds like looking for trouble..."
It is, but at the same time if you like someone I don't think anyone should run away because they have mental health issues (my opinion of course). It just takes a stronger person to cope with it.
I know quite a few people with BPD. |

He's 32 and was diagnosed over a year ago. He's mostly ok but can behave eracttic sometimes. Other times his med make him sleep a lot. Mostly when they up his dosage. |

I was married to one for 12 years. It has taken a lot out of me, physically and emotionally. I didn't like to leave her by herself with the kids (one of them has ADHD), she rarely left the house. She burst into tears at the drop of a hat. Everything was always my fault.
Before I met up with her, I was happy go lucky, had friends. And now I am alone, have 1 friend and depressed. I tried to unfriend her on Facebook and you thought I had murdered a kitten!
It's you call, but knowing what I know now, I wouldn't do it again.
OH PS, Have a look for a book called "Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care About Has Borderline Personality Disorder" |

Just make sure you don't become his carer as well as partner. I lost close friends and 'my life' but slowly regaining it and he's coping (most of the time) |

I have BPD. I was diagnosed when I was 22 and it hit me like a train. For nearly 8 years, my moods have totally messed me up and if I'm honest, my wife has kept me alive so far. I don't know how she does it. Anyone who has to live with someone with BPD is brave and strong to do so.
I would rather not have it, but.... meh.... |

I don't think I'd be strong enough to cope with someone with mental health issues and I would not want to subject my "future kids" to that sort of pressure either so I'd stay well away from this kind of person.
Life is complicated enough as it is... |

Jumping to big assumptions about people and writing a whole group of people off without understanding is quite harsh. At the other end of the scale you could miss out on a lot of unconditional love a good caring heart and empathy. Your loss I would say for your prejudice. |
