You can discuss your worries with your partner, but if you just break up "for them" let it be their desicion, not yours. You can tell them what you're worried about, but if they are strong enough and don't mind, please don't push away your partner. You deserve support and if they are strong enough is their call.

It's best to talk to your partner and find out what works for the both of you. It's a very challenging thing to deal with a mental disorder for yourself and anyone supporting you through it. If your partner understands the challenge and is willing to stay with you despite knowing how hard it will be then good for you both. Otherwise give them an out making sure there will be no guilt attached so that they are not staying because of any other reason but to be with you through this. It looks like you understand how hard it is on them so it depends on your partner if they are willing to do this with you. Talk to them, it is your best option :) I hope things work out for you well.

This can be considered. but of course, it's a personal decision. I made the decision but it turned out to be selfish and a projection of my own insecurities, and feeling inadequate to be loved. people who are ill NEED love too

That depends on you. If you can still work on your mental disorders and your partner forgives you and is supporting you along the way, perhaps there is hope in the relationship. However, if the problem is severe and both parties get hurt, then perhaps it is for the best to part ways

Mental disorders are something uncontrollable. Breaking up will only make these situations much more problematic.

When we get hurt physically, we go to doctor, take medicine, follow the right diet and wait till the physical wound get healed, In the same way,, mental disorders are emotional wounds,,, with proper guidance, love, support and care mental disorders can get treated,,, yes this is hard for anyone who stay with someone with mental health issues, to deal with it,,, but with professional support and constant love it is very much possible to affectively deal with it, No need to break any relationship because of this difficult phase,,, love and affection has the power bigger than anything else, be it disorders,,, physical or mental,,,

If you can work things out, then think about doing so. Partners who truly love each other will always be there for each other and help one another in their time of need. However, you must do your part to seek help too. Consider seeing a psychologist even though it can be an extremely hard thing to do. Improve yourself in order to get the best out of your life, and also for the betterment and happiness of your partner as well. I'm sure they would love to see you at your best! Good luck!

I think it is up to your partner to decide if they can no longer handle that hurt or not. If they have stuck around through all of it so far, they must really care about you. They can determine for themselves when all of it becomes too much for them. Enjoy the love and support for now! Don't worry about it.

Based on my personal opinion no. You have mental disorders you need someone to be there for you. As it may sound selfish but you need to be and feel better. If you break up with him or her you might say that you still have your family but it will never be the same. Sometimes it's much easier to talk to your bf rather than your family.
