[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who say no to dating certain people are usually the same ones who won't date people base don color, ethnic background, and religion.  some may call them___________

Choosing not to date someone with PTSD is more like choosing not to date someone with an addiction, BPD, etc rather than someone of a specific ethnic background. People of different ethnicities can still be functioning adults in a relationship, while someone with an untreated (or poorly treated) mental illness can’t. You don’t get social justice bonus points for creating a relationship with someone who can’t meet your needs and will likely make you miserable.

I wouldn’t date someone who just received a diagnosis. I would date someone who was working hard at treatment, taking treatment seriously, and had been doing so for several years.

Furthermore, building a romantic relationship with someone with a mental illness often hurts them more by enabling them. [/quote]

But that's not what PP said. PP said they don't date military / police regardless of mental illness status...[/quote]
