both people have a mental illness. Good or bad?

Do you think it better if both people have a serious mental illness or is it better for me to just have a mentally stable person. I feel happier with this person but is this dangerous? Not like I'm one to shy away from danger I just want to hear your opinions.

A lot would depend upon the individual dynamics in each situation, as no two relationships are ever the same. On the one hand, if two people had a mental disorder, they might have more empathy for each other, and an awareness of the struggles.Conversely, they might find that they're in a situation where their illnesses trigger issues in each other, and they may struggle blindly. If one person is well, they may be able to offer more support, and be a rock in the relationship. Sometimes,on the other hand, the person who is well may feel overwhelmed and even burdened by the situation, in which they become more of a carer than a romantic partner. As each situation is different, it's impossible to say which arrangement would work best.

Can you tell us a little bit more about your own situation and how you feel it affects your relationship?

it depends, honestly. For example, my boyfriend has DID, and I have BPD. He cannot understand how I feel a lot of the times, and he claims that his alters know all about BPD, but from what I have seen, they are MORE insensitive than he is. I honestly believe that I am the one who is more empathetic one in the relationship.

But I don't know... I do know that he is a giant sweat-heart. And he does mean well.
