Would you marry someone with a history of mental illness?

[Anonymous]

Watching a family member's spouse go through MI, and seeing the effect on the child. Never, ever would I advise such. If you know person has MI, be kind and don't bring an innocent life into the misery.

There are different levels of mental illness. I would guess about half of the white population has some level of depression or anxiety disorder. I have no opinion on other races because I never dated them extensively enough to have an opinion. They say "all men are pigs and all women are crazy." There is truth in that that isn't necessarily funny. Honest people know the truth.

This is such an offensive topic to get in to. Might surprise you OP, but there are many, many people with mental illnesses who frequent DCUM. I'd probably marry most of them before I wanted to marry someone as ignorant as you.

I live lived a hellish childhood with a schizophenic mother. Back then families hid mental illness and so I am sure my father didn't know what he was getting into.

NO, NO, NO, never should you marry or have kids with someone with a mental health history unless you are a fool.

So no one should marry you ( agreed) or your kids right?

No. Nobody should. If you find out someone had a schizophrenic parent, you should most definitely avoid marrying them.

Yu would should just lock all those deplorables up. Right?

Actually that's too much money for the typical human lifespan. Once diagnosed we should euthanize them that way they don't have the chance to inflict any kind of trouble or pain on anyone.
Hopefully science develops enough in the near future where we can sort this during prenatal testing and abort as needed.

You in the wrong forum. No one discussing what to do with mentally ill people. The question was about marrying one of them. The consensus is, no, no one should marry a person with mental health issues.
