I have experienced this.

I was married to my first wife for 5 years when I was dx. The day I told her, she went to stay with her mom because she thought I was suddenly dangerous (no domestic abuse history). This wife would divorce me 2 years later, with the illness being a major factor.

Later, I am dating my second wife. She is living with a friend. I visit their house regularly to spend time with my girlfriend. My gf tells her friend I am sz, and then the friend kicks her out of the house and ends a 15 year friendship because I was brought around. I didn't learn this was the reason for the drama until we were married for 2 years.

I hate the stigma. I have no criminal record and no violent past.
