I don't think I would get involved with someone without telling them ahead of time - at least I could weed out the douchebags right away.

I'm sorry that he's done this to you. Just remind yourself that he's clearly NOT a decent human being - I don't think anyone is decent if they are going to cut someone out just because they're ill.

My ex went the other route - back in May I saw him for the first (and only) time post-break up. When I completely ramped up from the sertraline. I told him all about it and how I was having a hard time with it and felt like I was going nuts - and told him about how I was going to see the pdoc and likely was going to get saddled with bipolar 2. He, instead of just outright shunning me, basically tried to take advantage of me. We didn't meet up with the intentions of hooking up. That wasn't discussed. I would have, but I hadn't had my legs shaved that day so I didn't.

Clearly he didn't really respect me much. It helps when I miss him to remind myself of that.
