I did not know my ex husband had sociopathic and narcissistic traits when I married him, I only knew he had untreated bipolar and was a chronic substance abuser.

Now that Ive been free and clear of that marriage for a decade I'm starting to think about my future: do I consciously want to be in a relationship with a person with a personality disorder? Does anybody? Would anybody choose that?

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts. Has anyone willingly allowed them self to be in a relationship with a person who has a personality disorder?

I've read in other communities that once you've been in a relationship with a personality disorder you see traits everywhere .

Has anybody experienced this?

Hope this made sense.
