[QUOTE="wawazat, post: 3546627, member: 35603"] Our spouses definitely feel the brunt of it if we are open enough to try to talk about it with them. My wife and I were just dating during one of my rougher times and somehow she not only decided to stick around but even wanted to be in my life forever. She knows more about what I battle through than anyone else in my life and was a huge part of me getting more proactive about finding the right solution. She had two young kids at the time and we had some very honest discussions, mostly started by me to put her mind at ease for the long term and making sure the kids came first in any decisions. I completely wrote off ever having kids once I realized this could be hereditary to make sure I didnt risk passing this on to another generation. I have no doubt that these two kids could ever be topped by another and I can still pass on most of my better traits without the genetics anyway. The funny part is she always told me I didn't want to have to deal with HER baggage and should move along. She just saw that I had never been married and didnt have any kids, but little did she know we ALL have our own baggage if we have lived at all. It sounds like we both hit the jackpot when it came to the partners we have ended up with! [/QUOTE]
