I've been in the situation twice. One, my husband who has untreated mental illness and the other was a man I lived with for many years who had untreated bipolar 1. Ultimately, both relationships made my own mental illness much worse, even though I have always been in treatment.

Thank you. Yes that's s hood way to say it. I still havent decided to say anything or not.
And yes, that is correct!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I get what you mean. I felt bad but at the same time I see this situation as potentially making things worse for me.
