Huh. Wow.

Alright then. Let's see. Argv, I totally see your concerns. I'm of the mind that it's important for someone to know, but not too early. I hate when anyone tells me too much right off the bat, not just romantically. It's very off-putting. It does tell me more than I want to know about them, and I'm not just talking about the direct info conveyed.
Just a general observation of "too much upfront" human interaction.

Everyone puts their best foot forward when starting out. There is nothing wrong with that, and it is not deceptive. It simply is. Because it inclines people to want to get to know each other. Other things might be deal-breakers too. Should we all just make a list and immediately hand it to someone? Probably not. Don't hold back the info forever, but give them a chance to get to know you, so they can assess the whole deal. You are more than your BP.

Sooo... yes, but see where it is going first. I disclosed at the same time I made another big confession (hell, get 'em all out of the way, right? ), one, because it was easier that way, and two, because I'd started to observe that he seemed to think me a little *too* wonderful, and the notion needed dispelling. I am hard to live with. (We were corresponding via email, so, well, we all know how easy perception distortion is there anyway...)

Turned out, he's f***** up in the head too. Together, we are a fabulous disaster, lol.

(Haha, just realized how that might come off. Not recommending looking for someone messed up(!) I've got mileage in both other person stable/other person unstable relationships and can say that both have their rewards and challenges. Stable's probably actually better, as long as the judgemental thing can be avoided...You'll find those people listed in the book of saints. Totally kidding there. However, they will tend to be patient people(!))
