Have you ever dated/married someone that needed some serious mental intervention?

I have. See the thread below. Most of the women that I have been involved with had severe mental disabilities. Explains why they were attracted to me.

I dated this one girl just out of high school that thought she was psychic. She would even get possessed by the spirit of a little girl that was killed by her parents and start talking to me like she was the girl, in a little girls voice. We would be at a movie or whatever and and she would just transform. It was creepy. She was wicked hot and I was a pig so I stuck it out for a little while then it just got to be too much.

The list goes on an on.

My wife is the first normal person that I was ever involved with. That's mostly why I married her. The lord knows that I have my own issues but I am doing something about it. I hope this girls were able to seek help. I was too young and immature to help them.

Nightmares from the past. Need help. Sorry so long.

I dated a guy that had a strong family history of schizophrenia. But other than that I can't think of anyone else.

My poor husband though.....I don't know how he'd answer the question. Well I do if I was watching him answer it anyway. LOL (jk)

I'm sure I was usually the one with mental issues in the relationship.

Seriously, no one I've dated. But I currently have a friend who I'm sure is bi-polar and is right now struggling with a gambling problem. You try talking sense into them, but they just don't listen. Unfortunately, there's not much more help I can give him.

My wifes friend married a guy with a gambling addiction. We live in Ohio. That was bad enough. Then his company transferred him to Las Vegas.

Oh lawd! My BFF's husband has a serious gambling addiction. So bad in fact that their house is now in foreclosure and they are filing bankruptcy.

Hopefully she can get him some help and hopefully he'll have a moment of clarity that allows him to commit himself to treatment.

Yeah, I'm worried something like this will happen. He used to have a decent job and he had extra funds to blow on poker, but he hurt his back so he's off work now and has barely any income and yet he still plays.

etceterae

I'm only 16, so I haven't really been in any significant relationships.

But I've had three stalker problems from when I was in 9th and 10th grade. And this year, I almost had to place a restraining order on this 19-year-old. I'm not sure, but apparently there's something about me that makes me stalked-on-prone XD
