[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, of course. Mental illness is a disease like any other. But making a life with a sick person is harder than making a life with a healthy person. [/quote]

Thing is so much of mental health doesn’t show up until later in a marriage because people mask it.  OP’s brother’s GF isn’t, so maybe that is a positive. She is working on it before the marriage. Hard to know. Is she independent and functional?[/quote]

You're seriously asking if she's "independent and functional"? I've been in therapy and on meds for thirty years. I also am a partner at my law firm, own two houses, am married with two kids, run marathons, have friends, etc.

Also, I should mention that "mental health" is not the same thing as "mental health problems" or "mental health issues". 
It doesn't make sense to say "mental health doesn't show up until later".

You're very ignorant.  [/quote]I think it was a very legitimate question.  No need to make it personal or about you.  It's great that you function so well.  Has nothing to do with the subject person.[/quote]

I think it's very weird, in 2021, to wonder if someone is independent and functional just because they see a therapist. [/quote]
