He has gotten involved with other women that struggled with sanity and mental health issues. In each case DS said he didn't realize they had severe mental problems until several months into it and then the break ups were scary.
What are the warning signs of mental illness that he us missing?? How do you detect crazy in the dating pool?
DS is lying if he says all these women are severely mentally ill but somehow he can’t tell for several months.
The alternative is that DS meets women with mild mental illness, then he makes them much, much worse through gaslighting and other behaviors. My sociopathic dad this to his first wife, my mom, and wife #3. All were mildly neurotic women that he manipulated.
