  • I'd never had a girlfriend until I met my partner 12 years ago. We met in a "alternative" music night, that was our thing in common. We had loads of difficulties at the start, she had mental health problems, I wasnt sure how to deal with that. Domestics used to make me anxious for days. In a weird way we both compliment each other. She helps me with phone calls (which i hate) and dealing with stuff generally, and my routines provide stability she needs.

    I do wonder if we hadnt met each other if we'd have partners at all? 

    The thing about it is... if we knew about each other problems, we might not have given it ago. Thankfully we have, my persistance has gotten her a diagnosis that helps her (right meds etc). Her support has helped my fulfill my potential academically, increased my confidence as such. At times it does feel as though we do walk against the wind, and it is easier to walk against the wind with a companion. 

    I think lots of people will be scared of problems and unfortunately try to define people through it.

    Stuffed is right - find a common interest.
