Hey, Mike. I answered you on relationships on your other thread about finding a significant other. Please read it. Also, physicallity isn't the only thing we women need in a relationship. We need to share back and forth emotions, spirituality and everything that makes you, "you" and us, "us"; everything that makes us unique.

I'm hoping you understand that having someone there at night to hold you and keep away the "demons" kinda sounds to me like you might be looking for another for your wholeness. That's a dangerous proposition. We're all human and prone to our own failings. We eventually will fail in our efforts to be there for someone else or to give and love unconditionally. Your best course of action is to become the best that you can be first before trying to maintain a relationship. Learn to do the things that help you and get you feeling better for yourself. That's one VERY tough lesson to learn, I'm here to tell you! However, we never finish learning so don't expect perfection from yourself, either!

Get a good hold on your illness, learn all you can about it, learn to deal with it and then think about getting into a permanent relationship, ok?

Just my two cents, for what it's worth.
