Because every person with mental illness is different and to make assumptions based on a label, I believe, is stereotypical. If you're leaving someone because of a behavior, that's different. It's the behavior you can't handle, rather the person has a MI or not. I think having a pre conceived idea about something is wrong. It's like saying because a few people with MI have committed crimes, we all must be criminals, and you don't want to date a criminal.

Of course the person has free will to walk away at any time, for whatever reason. But "limits" to staying with someone if they actually love you would be more of ab*se, or if the person was deceiving you. That's why with marriage it says In sickness and in health.

I'm not meaning to argue, I was just explaining my point.
