Thanks for the responses! I think I'm just gonna avoid anything close to serious until I know a little bit more about my illness and am more stayed in my sobriety. But you all gave me stuff to ponder, which is always a good thing! (Okay, most of the time (okay, really, only when I'm in a good mood))

**Side note- It's a little late, but I didn't realize the insensitive nature of my headline. I most certainly did not mean to exclude any LGBT forum members, especially after such an epic victory (in the U.S. at least). Sorry to anyone who might have felt left out! Relationship stuff is relationship stuff regardless of who your attracted to.
