Hello and welcome to Psych Central. I sincerely feel if you intend of having a relationship with this person, you need to encourage him to see a professional because a mental health disorder can be as hard or harder on the caregiver or other person in the relationship than the person with the mental health disorder at time. You may need to see a therapist as well to help you set the boundaries you need to stay in the relationship with this person, and get the support you need while trying to sustain a relationship with someone with a mental health disorder. Seeing a therapist can help you stay motivated to see how things really are in the relationship not how you are trying to see them for yourself, to deny the problems that exist in the relationship at this time, or having to make excuses for the other parties behavior due to his mental health issues. I hope the best for you in the future, and I hope your partner gets the help he needs for his mental health disorder soon. Take care and good day. Soidhonia
