I have had a secret dream of bp stability at some point and maybe a woman again. Who on earth could ever take such a personal risk to be with someone this psychiatrically unwell. Do not see it. Just too risky. So very sad and scared.

Meh. You truly never know. My husband and I have been married for 30-something years; he has severe OCD, PTSD from Vietnam, is a hoarder - and I have my own stuff. Yet, we understand each other so well and are the best of friends.

I believe the most important aspect of any relationship is that both people are working their stuff, that both are committed to that.
