I'm currently dating a person without any MI. He's never dated someone with an MI before, so I feel bad for being the one who shows him this "dark side" of people...
But I'm really grateful, so far he's supporting, pushes me to go to therapy and tells me recovery is possible. Of course we have our hard times too, he sometimes says 'this is consuming you and it consumes me too', but I think it's all a matter of will.
