You were in a long term relationship. I don't think you were asking too much at all. Like scaredandconfused said, some people just can't provide that kind of support. I understand. I was married for 20 years and I was diagnosed towards the end of the marriage. Not only was he not supportive but didn't even believe in mental illness and became emotionally and verbally abusive. After that many years together I expected more. I left for my own sanity. Sending big hugs.
