Would you date someone with body dysmorphia and/or other anxieties?

Question

Corerue · Accepted Answer

My wife suffers depression and anxiety issues, heavy ones. Postpartum after our last kid hit her HARD. So sure if i was single i would date someone with those... for lack of a better term. Issues (?) Again. Because I imagine that sometimes having someone who supports you is what keeps them safe and safe.

Despite all the hard times, I love that woman and for better or worse we are in this together.

But I have always held a hard boundary and I don't allow people to use me as a doormat. Even my wife, on her bad days i point it out and gently reaffirm what i won't tolerate so we can have a good discussion. Communicate what is bothering her/us/me and continue to live as happy as possible.

she'd need to reflect on herself and figure out if she's in the right space for dating. the anxiety itself isn't a no-go, it's what the anxiety would make her do that would be the deciding factor.

Some anxiety here and there sure, but if it makes you insecure to the point you become controlling I’m out of here. I did that with my ex and I’m still traumatized (he was horribly abusive and blamed it on anxiety🙄 yet wouldn’t go get help) and as for body dysmorphia — while I really feel for you I don’t feel like I could handle it personally (especially because I spend most of my time focusing on my daughter) but I’d be the type to help out as a friend!

It depends, if it’s very obvious from the start, no I wouldn’t think someone would want to take that on. If it’s been some time and there has been a lot of memories ans attachment and there are a lot of other things in common, I imagine someone may try to deal with it,

I have a mild form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and I’m in the best relationship of my life. So for my boyfriend, the answer would be yes.

StephenCF · Answer

Nope. Maybe minor issues that still don’t detriment her life or mine may be tolerated. But I’ve known girls with body dysmorphia & certain anxieties, & I never want anything to do with them anymore, even if they’re hot 😖

elite665 · Answer

I feel like everyone is ignoring the dysmorphia part so I’m gonna go out and say it depends what kind and how noticeable it is

worldscolide · Answer

If it's the kind of dismorphia where I'm dating a woman and suddenly they decide they are a man.. I don't need that kind of bullsh*t in my life..

Duckysback · Answer

Probably not. If I wanted to deal with someone else's problems I'd be a psych major.

Lliam · Answer

No. I'm not into rescuing people. I prefer people who don't have mental health issues.

LoU_Hades · Answer

Maybe. People with anxieties differ in their behavior and personalities

Ianto · Answer

I sometimes think there are no women without some aspect of this. Modern society profits from preying on any insecurity that can induce spending.
