I'm divorced and haven't dated in about a year. I've got my DX now, and I'm working on getting the right cocktail.
My question is...If I start dating someone, and I think it may lead somewhere, how do I bring up my MI? Somehow I don't think, "Let's get some appetizers and oh yeah, I'm Bipolar" is the right way to go. 😂 Anyone else go through this? |

My husband and I told our diagnoses on our second date.
 I wouldn't recommend that, though. I'd wait until you and your beloved have been together for a while.

Take your time to bring up personal issues, just like anything else. Show him who you are first. Everyone has issues of their own, and if things need to come out into the open they will naturally with time.

I haven't had the best luck with positive reactions to my MI while dating, unless you count the other patient that tried to pick me up while in hospitalization. I'm still in the dating world, hoping it'll go well eventually.
It's tough to know exactly how to discuss that topic with a potential significant other, but I think it looks different for everyone. I think you just have to go with the flow of the relationship. For some, it might be something that's discussed within the first couple of dates. For others, it's probably something that might wait.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
