Would you allow yourself to fall in love with someone with severe mental afflictions?

To be drawn into a relationship like this would probably mean to sacrifice so much of your own life.  There would be two people that you had to deal with, the loving beautiful person and the unwell person who would probably drain you more than you can ever realise.  Sadly he is not in control of his illness it will always control him and whatever promises were made on a good day can be snatched away within hours on a bad.  I would walk away before I allowed myself to fall in love, to be drawn in to a point where you were responsible, if anything did ever happen you would carry that burden with you all of your life.

Yes I think it can be a possibility. Especially since you value that person alot and yet have the sensibility to know that you cannot take things to another level :-)

No, its personal preference\n\nP.S.  You can't help who you fall in love with. Love may suprise you one day... Best Wishes.

Yes ! why not. But it would be only a ONE-SIDED LOVE. Also it is a sign of depression too.

if he can't deal with your health issues, then let him go...  odds are, the mental problem will be around longer than him... \njust my opinion though...  you gotta do what feels right for you...

Would you love him/her any less?  Probably not!  You'll love that little darling no matter what.  \n\nI'm not so sure that you will pass it on.  My son has Tourettes, ADHD and OCD.  No one else in our immediate family has this.  No one.  There was a recent breakthrough at Harvard that you should read about.  \n\nBlessings to you and I hope this helps.

Hello there!\nIt must have been hard to have found that out about your girlfriend after being together for 5 months. I must take medication regularly, and I had the same problem with letting people know I took it. You should feel honored that she shared that information with you. It is so hard to even tell anyone that you have a problem, let alone someone so close to you. She is basically taking an anti-depressant, which regulate the level of serotonin in her brain. A mental illness is a disease, like diabetes or hypertension. In order to control our mental illness, we take medication. Just as someone with diabetes must have insulin. When we don't take our meds, it can cause a recurrence of our symptoms--which often includes suicidal thoughts. If you really care about her, you could try and learn about her illness. Be there to support her. People are often inclined to selfish thoughts, thinking how bad they will feel and withdrawing from the very person that needs us. Everyone has some thing or another that we must "deal" with in a relationship. I have had many relationships when the person I was with could not handle the fact I had a problem. I dont' let it run my life and am very loving and responsible. I am sure people will tell you "horror stories" about their illnesses, and these do occur. You did become her boyfriend for a reason right? Focus on her positive qualities and support her. If you feel like you could not handle it, then the best thing to do is to leave the relationship. Good luck to you!

Sweetheart..you don't need anyone to tell you to do. I would strongly go with my heart. If you truely love him, you wouldn't be happy with anyone else. \nWe can tell you what we would do...but deep down...what would you do? Could you handle loving someone that is having problems walking? I would hang in there and not jump so fast to all the what ifs.

Than that would be lust.. not love. To fall in love usually you at least need to speak with the person, unless they are a deaf-mute.

I do not think that love comes from ability. If you are in love with someone, obviously you will not think that whether you are able to love her or not. So, I always think that I am able to love someone if that someone is my other part.

No, but I have been in love with three people at the same time.\n\nMe, myself and I.\n\nha ha \n\nSorry, bad joke I know.  I will take care of it - hitting self repeatedly over the head with baseball bat.

To be frank, it's probably not a good idea to stay involved with someone who says they can't love you because they simply can't love.  If he cares for you and is still in the process of falling in love, that's one thing, but just insisting it's never going to happen, that's something else.\n\nAt best, he's not able to admit he feels such things, which could be a major hindrance to the relationship.  After all, what if you have children together and he decides that he can't love them, either?\n\nAt worst, he's telling you that to string you along and keep you in a relationship he has no interest in maintaining long-term, and is keeping himself an open "out" to dissolve the relationship when it's convenient for him by simply saying "sorry babe, I told you I couldn't feel love" and walking off, shifting the blame for all the pain you feel to you for continuing on in the relationship until he ended it rather than having to admit to himself he hurt you through his actions.\n\nA "test" would probably be unfair since, in the end, it's trying to manipulate his emotions to your own desires, which is a seriously twisted thing to do to someone.  However...\n\nIt's honesty time, honey.  He either needs to fess up and admit he loves you, at which point you can take his loving behavior as evidence of his admitted feelings and have faith that he truly does, or he needs to admit he shouldn't be in this kind of relationship so you can get through the inevitable pain and sorrow now, move on, and find someone who can truly return your love to you like you deserve.\n\nI'm all for being original and clever and doing your own thing, but there's a word for people who truly don't experience emotions such as love and sympathy the way the rest of us do.  They're called sociopaths, and you don't want to be in the same city as one of those, let alone in a relationship with one.

I would think just about anybody would like to be loved deeply.  Do you think it is possible to love somebody unconditionally?  Deep down I really do believe unconditional love can occur.  I personaly feel that I would be able to love unconditionally, I have just not found somebody that feels the same way.
