I agree with the others saying to give it time. Gives you a chance to see what he's really like and gives you piece of mind that he's not going, 'That's just the BP' etc as a default reaction. Get to know each other, then when you're confident, have a calm talk about it and encourage him to learn about about it. Some people need space - I had a boyfriend once that when he realised something was wrong and I told him, we took a break. We got back together but ended it due to my illness. Though at this time, I wasn't diagnosed or receiving any treatment either. He didn't know what to do and I couldn't take having someone around me.

Currently, my partner now knows everything that's happening. I started seeking treatment again during our time together so it meant I didn't have to play catch up, we do it all together. Gets bumpy but it works. I know some people aren't as open with their partners either - really depends on where you strike the right balance with them being aware enough to support you when you need it and you feeling comfortable that they *do* take it seriously.
