I've said it before, Tom Leykis has said it before, and many others around Reddit have said it before time and time again. DO NOT DATE WOMEN WITH MENTAL ISSUES.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20mWTD0FK3A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMEdK0RgEn4
I cannot tell you how many times I've seen guys get roped into relationships with women who are bi-polar, NPD, or BPD and the hell that followed. I'm guilty of this as well, so I'm speaking from experience.
Often times they'll rope you in while in a manic phase and everything is all good, perhaps even better than you've ever experienced before, but like they say "if something is too good to be true..." You guys have got to learn about Early Frame Announcements (EFA) (skip to ~4:00) and what they are in terms of mental illness red flags. I'm not an expert on all of them, but common examples are flying off the handle at little things, withdrawing sex for no apparent reason, chronic depression, and I'm sure there are mile long lists of this stuff a doctor could dig up. I'll leave it you to google the symptoms so you know what to look for since I'm sure I'm not doing this justice. My reason for posting this is so you guys can avoid the pitfalls of women like the ones I and friends have had to deal with in our lives. Just don't date them. The crazy isn't worth the sex or whatever it is they're trying to rope you in with.
And just to hammer home the point of why you shouldn't get into relationships with women with mental issues, mental illness qualifies for at-fault divorce! If you can legally divorce someone who's bi-polar, BPD, etc, what's that tell you about them being relationship material to begin with?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounds_for_divorce_(United_States)#Mental_illness
I want you to really think about all of this the next time you see red flags (EFA) you're not sure about when you're deciding if you should invest your time, money, and commitment.
edit: /u/veege2007 brought up a good point I wanted to add:
THE EXIT STRATEGY
For guys who realize they're dating or married to crazy, how do you extradite yourself from the situation without all hell breaking loose? I've found going full beta is the safest method of all for getting out unscathed. At worst you'll have to swallow your pride and go without sex for a while when her pussy clamps shut, but in the long run you'll be much better off.
Why this is better is because going "full beta" makes her initiate the resolution phase as described in the videos above and it's much less severe than should you be the one rejecting her. The consequences of letting her do the rejection is much milder than the reverse.
This doesn't mean you be the beta provider or give her validation though. What I'm talking about is all of the negative beta traits such as being clingy, needy, and so on. (there are good beta traits that balance out good alpha traits -- read the Married Man Sex Life Primer for more info).
Anyway, it's THOSE negative beta traits you really want to go over the top with to initiate an low conflict break from a crazy chick.

Thanks for posting this. I was dating this girl who was taking anxiety pills supposedly because her father died like 2 years ago, I know this was a fucking major red flag but I actually was having a really good time with her and I know she was onto me. One day we went to the pharmacy together, I got some gum and she got the "anxiety pills". I saw the name of the pills she was taking, it was fucking Zyprexa (olanzapine), so me being curious I searched on WebMD and I found out it is to treat BiPolar Disorder and schizophrenia. No shit she was having major mood swings and was sleepy all the time. And the worst thing is that the withdrawal symptoms kind of makes you want to die or some shit like that. I had to cut contact by behaving needy and over texting/calling, which worked out pretty well. I do not want this crazy woman looking for me or blaming me for some shit she will do to herself because what we were having didn't work out.

willyfresh916 10y ago
The timing of this is really uncanny. I have been in a relationship for 3 years, in the last year we moved in together and she lost her mind. She's definitely sick. She's still very sweet. She's not violent or evil... just not fun to be around anymore. I am torn internally because the decision that seems best for me is really difficult to make. I have been considering writing an asktrp post. On the other hand, I kinda know what the answer is.
docmongre 10y ago
Gentlemen please listen to this. After meeting what I thought was the girl of my dreams, I ignored the warning signs. I ignored my friends and family as they voiced their opinion. I should have listened. Now, 14 years later I have spent over 100k fighting in court just to be able to see my daughter. It has ruined me financially and emotionally to the point where I no longer sleep, have severe anxiety and panic attacks.
I just wish I would have listened before she slept (or tried to sleep) with half my friends, lied repeatedly to both friends and cops and told them I was beating her, and now rakes me for as much child support as she can lie to get.
aazav 10y ago
PLEASE take the OP's recommendation seriously.
My dad could always handle the tough things. He was the older brother after all.
He married a woman who had been through things and was pretty damned bi-polar.
Shock therapy was needed.
My life in middle class America was rough growing up with her and her SUPER HAPPY one moment and oddly neurotic the next.
For your kids' sake, and for your own fucking sake, DON'T FUCKING DO IT.
To boot, I probably inherited a lower level depression from her, which sucks ass when it hits.
Her issues made my dad's life harder and made my life rough. Yeah, she did once try to kill me twice in one day. But day to day, you'd never know what her mood would be and home life was never happy, knowing that she wasn't really normal. One more reason to NEVER EVER marry a woman with mental issues.
And one more thing, NEVER EVER marry a woman who has done a shitload of cocaine. I've had my crash test dummies in my life and I've seen what coke does to people's brains. Long term use turns people into the spoiled little fat 13 year old who will blow up at any disagreement while they feel completely self entitled to their insane rage.

[deleted] 10y ago
Smart women will. Women with untreated BPD are emotionally volatile and resort to violence. Men with untreated BPD are emotionally volatile, resort to violence, and are bigger than women.
[deleted] 10y ago
I'm going to add a counterpoint here: The onus is still on the guys for being susceptible for getting into relationships with a BPD chick.
There are emotionally-secure folks with secure 'boundaries' whom will probably never get caught into all the shit-storm of drama with personality-disordered folks. There is something to note about finding your way with such folks.
The relationship dynamics and a having partner with such "issues" is a lot to say for yourself as well. I'm not here to spur moral imposition, but I'd consider this a point for reflection.
iluminatiNYC 10y ago
Yes, and no. If you keep dating women like that, then yeah, I'd agree with you. On the flip side, anyone is susceptible to a moment of not being on top of their game. All someone like that needs is one opening, and you're in trouble.
[deleted] 10y ago
So essentially what you're positing here is a mere personal opinion?
*For people with a secure base and secure boundaries it's not even about "being on top of their game" or instilling the notions of any sort of "game". Some folks just "do" in an oblivious sense to all this mantra and spiel of "game". Basically some people just don't give BPD folks the time of day or "entry" to reap havoc in relationships, many don't react or get into such relationships at all. However, if you grew up in a dysfunctional household, unfortunately yes, you're going to be more likely to solicit similar folks as a partner; it's mutual and reciprocal. This is why hood-rat folks from broken-families end up seeking out dysfunctional relationships, which further perpetuates the cycle of intra- and inter-generational dysfunctional traumata – nonetheless the seemingly endless cycle of poverty.
The notions of game is essentially self-applied cognitive-behaviorism and incessant rationalization and self-justifications to thwart off vulnerability to potentially parasitic/toxic relations. It is simply false bravado, a mere defensive antic to be a "real" authentic person without having to resort to pseudo-informed tactics and strategy. However, it should be best acknowledged that the inherent issue lies precursor to applying any sort of "game" or whatever sexual strategy. Just because one is a tier-up and is working-class, doesn't mean their intrapsychic or emotional development is up there to procure mature intimate relations with a significant other. Let's also realize that socioeconomic class, education, "game" or no "game" is irrelevant to psychodynamic psychology and one's therein relational connection to potential partners.
I think it would do you a good service to read the works of James F. Masterson and if you could Otto Kernberg, only if you're intellectually inclined and serious. It absolves the notions of TRP of absolute justifications into a rather dynamic expositions that may be more fruitful for psychodynamic introspection, that of which hopefully absolves the need to conjure such mentally-taxing application of "game" day-to-day. For me, I'd rather just "be" which is the best "game" out there in town. ;)
iluminatiNYC 10y ago
Interesting response, and it deserves a measured reply. For one, I know who Masterson and Kernberg are. Heck, Kernberg, for all intents and purposes, wrote the book on borderline personality disorder, in effect writing the Old Testatment to Marsha Linehan's New Testament. I also was a peer advisor to a support group for those with romantic relationships with those who have borderline personality disorder and have spoken to literally hundreds of different people, and on occasion met up with people face to face. Suffice to say I have a good deal of practical experience, if not necessarily a formal psych background.
Now you are accurate about secure bases and boundaries being important in relationships. There's a reason that I've heard about No More Mr. Nice Guy both here and my support group. There are a lot of people who did grow up in dysfunctional circumstances on here. That said, I do know from my experience that anyone can have issues adjusting to stress and trauma in their lives, and there are countless examples of this happening. If someone with BPD comes across someone in such a state, you're going to be in that type of relationship, even if the odds say you shouldn't be. You're right about patterns, but your answer is simple, neat and wrong.
Now, are you right that the vast majority of people on the Red Pill could use therapy? Yes. I've been through a few cycles myself, and it definitely helps. Does that make the Red Pill a Bad Thing? No, especially in light of the cognitive-behavorism that is at root of a lot of the idea. Heck, Mark Manson, a noted PUA has fessed up to just as much in his own writing. Your critique is begging the question, big time. It's much better for someone with issues to do something, especially if that something is helpful, than to wait for the perfect circumstances to help themselves. The Red Pill helps. Is it perfect? No, but it is a useful step in the right direction. The next step is up to the individual themselves.
[deleted] 10y ago
Nice! It's great that you have some anecdotal experience to back this up. I'm all for it. Everything is well said.
Can you delve a bit and expand with your thoughts here as what is "wrong" with my specific statement there?
Regarding about Marsha Linehan's New Testament, she, as well as John Gunderson, whom brought psychodynamic descriptions of borderline pathology as a deterministic BPD classification into the DSM-III, to which both actually owes a lot in regards to Kernberg's work–but unfortunately is still at odds with him, because well, you know it's psychoanalytic metapsychology (observation and conjecture) at the end of the day.. though he and his colleagues is "manualizing" Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) into the likes of DBT's group-therapy (which I think is inferior and inadequate).
I don't disagree with most of what you say; I'll admit I did veer on the extreme in favor of alleviating intrapsychic conflicts, especially with regards to folks whom are seemingly absolved of such emotionally dysfunctional mishaps. TRP does provide a good framework to understanding things as not everyone is bestowed with the intragenerational passing-on of what connotes 'healthy relationship' dynamics – obstructed with personality disorders or not. Mark Manson iirc utilizes 'Attachment Theory' and personally, I'd rather just go through the source (John Bowlby's and other attachment-infant researchers) and conjure my own perspectives that I can tailor and adapt to my needs. Conversely, on the flip-side to this, folks whom take his work – using your reference – as a "testament" in an absolute manner, then it's where folks can run into difficulties and mishaps.
However what I should have explained better is that a lot of TRP can be misguided application just like PUA/seduction community. Luckily, it seems the community here is more academically inclined and utilizes Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's five stages of grieving from the get-go, rather than Venusian Arts sticking-points. Many folks should be seeking out psychotherapy especially if it's of a "social" disharmony and not a "nature" neurological condition that impairs whatever from eliciting a sense of subjective well-being, as well as procure healthy and nonetheless fruitful relationships. Psychiatry, counseling, marriage/family therapy, or neurology could be just an equal answer as well. It's a starting-point, but if you're familiar with analytic theory, then it makes sense for person seeking out answers because we're driven by libido and sexual drives, which of course probably motivates many in whatever learnings for if they are sexually frustrated.
That said, TRP can be an excellent framework to understand things that "should have" been passed down but somehow got lost or never properly understood. I also won't deny that it's just an amalgamation of perspectives but it is neither definitive or concrete, but like as you say, it is indeed a useful step in the right direction. I mean I suppose this stuff can also be answers and justifications or sorts to folks to come to peace with, whom may never be physically able to procure "healthy" intimate relations. And besides many social work and psychology papers already exemplify the destructiveness of family dysfunction that TRP/Feminism attempts to address and berate; in observation, much is nothing new; but both do however provoke public outcry for those whom take it with misogynistic/misandrist undertones, because of the less-than politically-correct and insensitively aggressive attitudes.
Though, I just think for the most part a lot of TRP folks can and should seek out psychotherapy. Like the misogynistic reputation that the sub gets, it really does show in partners with BPD folks. Perhaps it's undeniably inevitable given the unfortunate circumstances in and of the real world. In short, I just think it's a lot of misunderstanding at its reductionistic core; it may or may not assist or "solve" anything but it does provide thoughts to analyze and think about. And as with Marsha's DBT which I have issues with (which is another topic), if folks don't absorb TRP from an introspective manner, especially if it's done in a cognitive-behavorial way (which can be psuedo-self-tourture if may), I contend it can perpetuate cynicism and further self-destructive aggression. (like the recent Elliott Rogers tragedy)
iluminatiNYC 10y ago
I see where you're coming from. Now that I see your background, I over-read your statements on family dynamics, and I apologize for that. Personally, I'm a tools-for-the-job kind of man, but I also took enough time to read the theory behind the various views of BPD. Good stuff.
[deleted] 10y ago
No worries. I do come off with a stream-of-conciousness, much like analytic writing and perhaps it's exacerbated when I read Kernberg. There's a lot of mis and under-information in the BPD community. But if you take the time to really explore the analytic literature being much of it revolves around personality disorders, especially borderline pathology, it will shape better social-constructionist perspectives. After all, borderline pathology is essentially unable to synthesize the dynamism of "bad" and "good" "forces", which much of it is similar to the dynamism of TRP/Feminism.
If you want to know my opinion about the dynamism of TRP/Feminism, see my response chain here. And for the unfortunate and inevitable cases of Elliot Rogers here.
The issue with Venusian Arts and TRP is that again it's an psuedo-informed open-review anonymous community (which still relies on academia and whatnot published papers to support and tout its agenda/notions at the end of the day..). We also don't know if folks should seek out other mental health interventions first or perhaps both with the TRP framework; or in the case of Elliot Rodgers, there were no adequate clinical interventions and unfortunately took
TRPseduction stuff to self-destructive extremities.[deleted] 10y ago

1 in 5 women suffer from mental disorders. So you're saying 20% of women should not be able to be happy with a partner.

Dated a bi-polar girl whose schizophrenic mother offed herself in front of her.
Never has 5'2" 110 been more of a threat to my personal well being.
theredpillager 10y ago
I dated a bi polar chick on and off for a couple of years. In that time, I had to call the cops three times on her (you know, because society says I can't defend myself against her; it would just look like I beat the piss out of her to the law). Actually, the last of those three, a friend was present and HE called them. Each time, I was put out of the house, not her. As this taught me not to trust the police for domestic issues, I ultimately ended up with a BS charge when she called the cops after one of her blow-ups. The charge is expunged now, but the arrest record isn't. Best sex I've ever had and 100% not worth it. I'd rather fuck a land whale than go through any of that shit again.

theredpillager 10y ago
In one incident, she had cooked a nice meal for the two of us (she could really cook). I sat at the table, she put my plate in front of me and went to go make her own plate. I started to eat and was enjoying the meal, as one is wont to do.
She began to throw a tantrum when I didn't say thank you or comment on how good it was. She threw her plate of food across the room from the kitchen into the living room at me. I ducked and it shattered on the wall, ruining both our meals. I was like, "You crazy bitch, I just started fucking eating it! When I finished, I would have said 'thanks, babe; that was really good.' like a normal fucking person would! And now neither of us have food!"
She started taking shit out of the fridge and throwing it on the ground. I laughed at her and started taking pictures of her tantrum on my cell phone. I still have one of the photos somewhere. It's a good reminder of who not to date.

theredpillager 10y ago
I understood. My point was, if you manage your condition, then I wouldn't necessarily take you off the dating market. But less than 5% of the population are bipolar so you're incorrect that it wouldn't leave many to date. It would leave the other 95%.

Don't date women with aspergers either.
I had dated one for 2/half years and I broke up with her. She was a big baby and couldn't maintain her house in a well established order, was extremely sensitive to what anyone talked about her, had terrible hygiene, didn't know how to be independent, and because each person with aspergers has some sort of obsession, her particular obsession was with comics and animated movies. This obsession was her life. And that's all that she knew. When we broke up, she cried and hated me.
After breaking up, she told her mother and family that I raped her for 2 years. She said: Everything we did sexually was because I forced her into doing it and she never agreed to it. So then I had cops call my house informing me that there is an active investigation taking place against me because of some accusations from her. Of course, there was no proof. But she put a restraining order against me, even though I never wanted to see her again. And now I'm in court fighting it with my lawyer.
Never had an issue like this with any of my former non-autistic girlfriends.

Law #3: NEVER stick your dick in crazy
Keninishna 10y ago
I think around 20% of all women actually qualify as having borderline personality disorder. If she has tried to kill herself before that rate goes up to ~60% likely of having a personality disorder and if she admits she was abused as a kid it goes up even higher. I think over half the population qualifies for some mental disorder so most girls are crazy. Not all all of them are unmanagable though.

I married into this. I did it because at the time I was so lonely. I just wanted someone to be with. No doubt there is someone reading this thinking as I did and completely ignored signs just because they wanted someone. Trust me, do not ignore sounds just because you want a girlfriend. Things were actually good until we got married, then the super crazy stuff came. When we dated, it was red flags. The very next day after we got married is when it all went downhill. We spent our honeymoon in the hotel room doing nothing because she couldn't stop crying. I just thought post wedding depression was normal.
Then I started getting blamed for things not my fault. But, in her mind, they are my fault because she things it's my job as a husband to stop every bad thing that happens to her. I'm not kidding, I get blamed for everything bad happening to her because she thinks it's the husband's job to stop that.
When it comes to housework, she doesn't do any because, "muh feminism". So, I end up having to do ALL the cooking and cleaning. Needless to say, our place is usually a mess because I'm tired after work and I usually come home to see her snacking on something and she immediately demands that I make something.
I won't get into the biggest details of her yelling at me, demanding a divorce, throwing her rings at me, and then 15 minutes later being told she'll kill herself if I leave.
I don't even react to it anymore. When she calls me a bad husband for not doing anything when she threatens suicide, I change the subject because if I told her that I know she's manipulating me about it, that would start another fight.

I'm an attention whore by nature, and by that nature I've learned from experience all women can be made crazy. In fact, I used to think I bred crazy because where I lived, all women wanted commitment of some sort, and accordingly I played to that market. I became romantic and sensitive, with a good career mixed with brooding and asshole. 80-95% girls enjoyed that, some enjoyed it too much, and wouldn't let go of their self-made plans for commitment.
I disappointed them and it manifested in a lot of the behaviours you'd attribute to legitimately mentally insane people... but all that said... I like obsession. I think its sexy. I also enjoy faux avoiding it. I do it in a consciously planned and controlled manner though. I never take risks.

friend is marrying a girl w/ Border Line PD...lol..
[deleted] 10y ago
Chiming in with my bi-monthly ex-wife bash.
From the Don't Ignore the Crazy video, she suffered from:
Rapid mood swings to include violence - she's only hit me once but the time she hit me was when I called the police when she told me my ex-best friend raped her. I guess I was the crazy one. /s
O.C.D. - if I made a wrong turn down a road (we always had GPS on us between our phones and actual GPS devices) then I could expect to be bitched out about it because it didn't go "according to [her] plan."
Paranoid when not high - constantly worrying if her cousin was going to call CPS on her, worrying about how bills were going to get paid when she didn't work and spent money on frivolous things (like the $300 I sunk into her going-nowhere business).
Self harm - Not only self-harm, but self-harm to resolve relationship-ending arguments. Before the wedding I wanted to break up because of how crazy she was being. She ran to the bathroom and started cutting. Two other instances where I wanted a divorce and she started cutting.
Gets insulted all the time - "Someone made a blog post about fat women, I must rip them to shreds!" For the record, she's about 5'6" and was about my weight at the time (250~ lbs). Any kind of attempt my mother made to improve her mothering skills (such as, play with them, acknowledge their existence, try not to let them swallow a bottle of children's Tylenol) was a bitchfest in my ear for an hour. She couldn't take criticism. Neither can I, but I don't blow up on people like she did. Mine is more of an implosion than an explosion.
Excessive needyness - I was trying to finish up school when I decided to get a divorce, but before that, during my classes, she would constantly text me, asking when I'd be home. From 6 PM to 10 PM, nothing but whining and nagging. And if I did stay somewhere later than I had originally told her, that means I was cheating on her. I went to see a divorce lawyer and came home 3 hours late. Granted, an excessive amount of time for no-contact in a marriage (especially during rush hour) but it wasn't an instant jump to "stuck in traffic". No mention of "did you get in an accident". It was "you smell like cookies, who have you been fucking?" And when I told her no one, which was the truth, she made up a story about me talking in my sleep and incriminating myself. Which leads into...
The consequences I faced were:
Delusional pregnancy - she tried to lie and say she was pregnant when she knew there was something up with me (hell-bent on divorce).
One thing he failed to place on that list of consequences was financial ruin. I'm not ruined, by any stretch of the word, but my wallet definitely took a hit. A year of close calls and maximum frugality. While I have suffered only two of his consequences, a couple others could be down the line.
Accused of rape - She'll do it to my best friend, she has the ability to do it to me. Might get a letter a couple months from now saying I need to appear in court for alleged rape. Even though I've blogged about turning her down on sex.
Paternity test - She's already pregnant with her third kid (y'know, because she handled two so well) and I'm waiting for the moment I get a letter in the mail saying I need to submit a paternity test. Doesn't matter that I haven't seen her in 10 months, she'll lie about the date or say that I paid her a visit and claim it's mine. Can't wait to get a vasectomy so I can avoid this unneeded shit.
Destruction of property - I work close to where her cousin lives and aunt works, and I'll be moving closer to work early next year. There's a good chance they can recognize my car, driving around my neighborhood and wreck it. But that's all paranoia at this stage.
Don't ignore the signs, guys.

If he doesn't, I do. You can't fix her, she won't change, and she will make your life a living hell. He is describing my first wife and her bipolar ass perfectly. I was accused of everything she was doing, and once I figured that out it was easier to know what she was doing.
The lies though, that is every fucking one of them. You will be a rapist, abusive controlling asshole, small dick, and of course you will be the one who cheated.
Second wife was a unicorn for nine years, until she was on ADHD meds for three years, and abusing them for the last year. Never lied, never thought about cheating, then she met a 24 year old kid and in a matter of three days lost her fucking mind. Within a week she had framed me with him for vandalizing his truck, abusing her, threatening to kill him, and terrorising his dad. Her mother let this kid sleep with my wife at her house, and then lied about it and went on a holy crusade against me because I found out. Women will lie if they are going to get in trouble or be embarrassed, expect it.
You can't change them, don't even try.
[deleted] 10y ago
I'll piggy-back off your comment.
This song comes to mind.
I went into that relationship with the same kind of mentality that you described. I looked at it as "Here's a single mom, living with her mother & her boyfriend, two kids growing up without a dad. I'm going to don my superhero cloak and give them a better life than they have right now." I guess, if you look at it in a certain light, I succeeded. I gave them a better life than they had at the time. But, there's no such thing as a free lunch. You sacrifice yourself to make the lives of others better.
When people say "I can fix them with X, Y, and Z", what they're really saying is "I'm going to sacrifice X, Y, and Z for this person to have a better life." This concept works if the person you sacrificed everything for turns out to be an honorable person. Your generosity is returned (sometimes in greater magnitudes) and everyone has benefited from the transaction. Most of these situations, in my experience, was when I was helping out a fellow man. I rarely get this kind of return from a woman.
And given TRP's tenants, it makes sense. The first tenant of Briffault's law states that "Past benefit provided by the male does not provide for continued or future association". So, those guys that say "I'm going to lend her money so she can get out of debt and lead a less stressful life" is essentially throwing their money into a bonfire. Sure, it may pay off her debts. Sure, she may be less stressed out later. But through her hamster, she'll rationalize that it was something that she did and not entirely your grace bestowed upon her. And she could drop you faster than you can say "You're welcome". "He was such a nice guy and he paid all my bills." And that's not guaranteeing she'll stay out of debt. Long after you're gone, she'll rack the credit card back up or decide to go back to school and we're back at square one again.
The last time I saw my ex-wife was the day of the divorce, after the trial. We went to lunch afterwards (I know, I already got ripped about it). I told her that the day that I was 3 hours late, I was seeing a divorce lawyer. But I can guarantee that didn't make it through the channels to her family. I was checking what she was up to earlier in the year via Facebook stalking (I really don't know why I torture myself like this) and saw a post about a new boyfriend. Her aunt had commented, "Just be careful. You don't want him to be like the last one." There's a vat of hateful lies going around in that family about me, but I haven't gotten my ass beat or cops sic'd on me yet, so I'm not worrying about it. Yet.
Sounds like you went through a similar hell. My ex-wife was on anxiety medicine when I met her (ironic since she didn't have to pay rent and her only chore around the house was dishes, and she needed ANXIETY MEDICINE). After she faked a pregnancy to get me to propose, she hopped off the pills and the monster emerged. For all I know, the pills could've been another lie to explain her recent shitty behavior or to give her a free pass for being a bitch. It's all hindsight paranoia shit that'll rot your brain.
The shitty thing is, her sister saw everything. She knew how my ex-wife acted, she knew the stress I was under. She saw the tantrums her sister threw, her irresponsibility of going to a bar without a ride home and hoping her soon-to-be ex-husband takes her home (I did), saw her hit me when I tried to get the cops to do something about the death threats and rape "confession", heard every story about how the kids had to go to the
hospitalemergency room once a month due to neglect from their mother. But when I was done and dumping that whore back in her mother's home, it was instantly (to me): "How can you do this? You're tearing this family apart!" No one cares how the man is being torn apart, just the status of the wife and kids matter. That's why I'm getting a vasectomy, and unfortunately my job requires me to have a left ring finger, otherwise I'd get it surgically removed.The worst of it all is how my family and even coworkers react now. "You'll find the right girl." There is no girl. Relationships are overrated. Marriage is horrible. Divorce is painful. Because (as /u/vengefully_yours has pointed out), your precious girl who would never hurt you will turn into a psychopath under the right circumstances. Your Walter White has become Heisenberg. All of them can flip. It's like a light switch. Some are harder to flip, but all of them will under the right amount of pressure.

The problem with promoting this attitude is that it discourages people from seeking help if they need it.

How a person acts and treats others is more important than what's in their medicine cabinet (although I agree with OP to avoid crazy people).
bsutansalt 10y ago
The numbers I've seen show a greater number of women than men are diagnosed with mental issues, but I don't know if most women are. There's a big difference there. Perhaps someone else can run this down for us and see what the actual breakdowns are by the numbers for the genders as a whole?

Or women are more likely to seek a pill treatment rather than tough-it out.

It's pretty easy to have any male diagnosed with ASD, so I wouldn't put too much stock into it either way.

As a woman with severe OCD (currently being medicated), I disagree with this. Yes, some mentally ill people can be abusive/bad partners in a relationship, but not all people who are mentally ill are so.
My fiance of a year has seen me at my lowest, do we have any relationship problems? No. Please do not generalize.
bsutansalt 10y ago
Oh there are exceptions to this rule. There always are, but as a rule it is my opinion guys should avoid women with mental problems. The odds are stacked against us when it comes to this sort of thing. The best one can hope for is to moderate the issues, but they're never going to go away completely...and that's if you're lucky. On the other hand, like he said in the video, there's a whole host of issues guys put themselves at risk of by sticking their dick in crazy (jail, violence, financial ruin, and even death).
IMO it's best just not to deal with that crap in the first place. Once you get a whiff of the cray-cray it's time to NOPE! the fuck out of there.

Unfortunately yes, all we can do is treat the symptoms and hope to return to somewhat normal.
I don't understand why some men don't try to help the MI partner (if doable). I would be even more of a mess if i didn't have my SO to run my intrusive thoughts by.
I guess what i'm trying to ask is: Does TRP expect to find a perfect woman instead of creating their unique relationship, or am I just misunderstanding?
We_Are_Legion 10y ago
You misunderstand. TRP expects to create an acceptable to reasonably ideal relationship out of a messed up market. The concept of looking for "perfect women" is referred to as looking for "unicorns". In fact, RP goes so far as saying, pretty much all relationship problems have solutions that can be effected by a knowledgeable male in charge. We believe this to the extent that any issues, even ones started by the woman, that cause a relationship to become worse can be said to be the fault of the male, simply for not having prevented it. The reverse is not true.
All that said, it isn't a terrible idea to try to choose women that make the job easier.
I've been in plenty of relationships with unstable women, and although its not a bother to help your partner with their issues(if anything, dependency has always historically been an way of ensuring male-led relationships), women you are involved with do generally in an LTR(or outside) have immense legal and personal power to fuck you up. Its best to encourage avoiding people likely to use that over frivolous shit.
"not sticking your dick in crazy" is... sorry to say, the only rational choice in the matter, to the testimony of men everywhere.
Your condition, OCD, is relatively harmless. People with bipolar for example, though can be a nuisance. There isn't yet such a dearth of women to justify the cost of keeping them. Either they present reasons, or they get rotated as a plate.
shesassy 10y ago
Maybe what I'm having the most trouble with is wondering why the relationship needs to be male-led. Ignorant of me to ask, probably. What do you mean by a male-led relationship?

[deleted] 10y ago
Finally I can say the truth here without getting shot down — it's best not to associate with women who have mental health problems And Or medicate themselves with drugs used in its treatment (eg Xanax).
The reason is simple: it's a disorder, think of it like fat girls. We're repulsed by fat girls, because who really wants children with the complications a fat woman brings to them? Same thing with the crazies, society today loves to romanticise mental illness and be very accepting of it, but the truth of it is if you yourself are mental well adjusted, then you shouldn't settle for less.
The stats show that females suffer from mental illness twice as much as males in basically every category. Medications for mental illnesses don't actually solve the problem, they just cover the symptom. It should be a huge red flag to hear a girl is popping pills for her mind/mood as it indicates an inability to solve the root problem and instead just patch on top. Bear in mind yes some people are justified and have had bad experiences in the past, but the world isn't fair and you should stay away from them no less.
Also a past containing mental illness is also a no go. Girls don't seem to have mental stability these days (I chalk it up to neuroticism and social media but that's just me) so if she was crazy in the past, you bet ya that when the going gets tough it'll resurface. The hamster would love to operate under the guise of a mental disorder, it's basically a free socially acceptable ticket to no accountability. You might think, but if a guy had mental illness in the past and got over it are you saying he's a step away from relapse? Nope. Men are much mentally stronger and stable these days, just look at the stats if you don't believe me. We have the tendency to make deeper change and not be slaves to faulty tendencies, so when a man changes he really changes but a woman's change is more flavour of the month.
Hope this helped someone, but just to reiterate
you have every right and should act on it: don't associate with crazy

Basically it increases risk of birth defects, which as a potential mate is probably the worst thing that could happen.
Also makes it harder to conceive. My conjecture is there is probably a reason we don't get aroused to fat woman.
Then you have less direct reasons such as role modelling, inability to keep up with kids, bad eating habits etc.
bananashammock 10y ago
Our culture as current does not generally view fatter women as attractive. Can this be said across all cultures and time periods? Are these increased odds of complications and the actual complications themselves enough to warrant likening having a child with a fat girl to getting into a relationship with a woman that has a serious mental disorder?

Is this for reals? If this is the case then I will revise my previous declaration that marriage counselling and shrinks are useless... Just get her diagnosed as bipolar or some shit and you can get an at-fault divorce and probably leave with your shirt on your back instead of losing half of everything.
This is something we should be letting men in marriages that want an exit strategy know so they can form a better exit strategy that leave them with less divorce rape to deal with.
bsutansalt 10y ago
Nope. Even with at-fault divorce the rules still apply about them getting half your stuff. Most states an at-fault just means you don't have to deal with the 6-12 month cooling off period before the divorce will be processed.

And this is literally one of three primary reasons why I plan on pursuing marriage counseling as a career. Never underestimate the value of a psychological diagnosis in the court of law. EVER. Whether you believe it can help you or not is completely irrelevant to its true purpose: if you test more "sane" than your S.O., you have a small shot at winning the divorce and custody of the children.
That, and it is stupidly easy to do, and stupidly good money if you set up shop in the right area (west coast).

When the entire system has the deck stacked against you, the action that is in your own best self interest is to ensure you have an ace up your sleeve.
Women do things like this because first off they can get away with it and secondly because they assume men will not fight fire with fire. In a combative divorce where your wife is a potential nutcase you'd be foolish to pull your punches and leave your progeny under her care.

I saw this firsthand in my divorce. Our first court date the ex's lawyer fucked up some paperwork and would have resulted in a very quick divorce since she was objecting to our old separation agreement we came up with in mediation a year before. The master (that's what they're called in my state since you don't ever see a judge in most cases) gave her and her lawyer a free pass and an extension. No reason given besides it being somewhat close to the holidays (early Dec). I wish I had a lawyer because they could have explained that what the master did was against the law.

Dated a girl who suffered from anxiety and depression. Beginning of relationship she was completely fine and I never would have guessed she suffered. As soon as she became comfortable she used the anxiety and depression as a crutch and an excuse for everything.

Nah marriage is cool. Just do your intel on your prospective lifetime partner. Lots of women are crazy and living with them can really make your life a drag, but i've found out that most women that have had a stable upbringing with their parents and have great relationships with mother and father turn out to be the least mental leaving aside monthly hormonal issues! Great relationship with mum and dad= marriage material. Girls with daddy issues, that hate their mum or are from broken families have just not learnt how to act in a traditional family unit, are broken wrecks unable to form lasting relationships. Problem is, there are a lot of broken families out there.

At the current suicide and addiction rates for men after divorce rape, your advice amounts to "Russian Roulette is chill, just make sure you use a safe gun."
Men who avoid suicide and addiction are still faced with alimony, child support, and the limitless power that family and divorce courts will have over the remainder of their lives.
Find the movie Divorce Corp streaming online (I found it with a quick Google search) and watch it. Men don't get married in 2014, they lease a woman from the government, then continue to pay the bill even after the lease is over.

Life is short, so why put yourself through that? And I'm not just talking about getting married. Even dating a crazy chick is hell after a while.
If you want a taste of sex wiih crazy, then just make her one of your plates.
edit: lol, that's a big edit above. their op was wildly different.

No, don't even do this. One and done them. ONS only. Do not share contact details and only fuck at their place, a friend of their's place, or in public. You do not want real crazies knowing where you live.
bsutansalt 10y ago
On second thought, you're right. Or at least never let them find out where you live.

Yeah, for serious. Dating a real crazy teaches one a lot. Only people who haven't dated a legit crazy would consider plating one an option, so I envy that you have probably avoided them thus far! All women have mild amounts of crazy, but the real thing is fucking scary.

Throwing out some info from something I wrote before:
Every man needs to be educated on this topic, because it could save his life.
Speaking from experience with BPD women, and the occasional man, this mental disorder can be summarized as follows: broken emotion-whores who get off on manufactured drama, hurting others, and manipulation to an extreme degree.
Most men are naive and delusional about the rancid pit of darkness that is the heart of BPD women, who are roughly equivalent to (though not precisely) male psychopaths. It's an underexplored topic. We know how dangerous male psychopaths can be, but we rarely consider how dangerous a BPD female can be when she gets her claws into an unsuspecting victim.
Here are two must-read articles. (I've never visited these blogs before so can't speak for the rest of their content.)
http://m.dailykos.com/story/2013/11/29/1251025/-Borderline-Personality-Disorder-Heroic-Martyr-or-Emotional-Vampire
http://illimitablemen.com/2014/02/17/lucifers-daughter/
You'll know the BPD creature by its theatrical emotionality, breathless incoherent and contradictory accusations (a projection of their own misdeeds usually), and endless lying and "gaslighting" (trying to make you feel like the crazy one).
I bet plenty of you have experience with them.
They get off on the self-righteous abuse of others, they have a deep craving to exert power by hurting and controlling others, and a craving to feel like a poor widdle innocent victim despite being the architect of all the drama and generally being a massive insufferable thundering cunt. Thankfully such wretched toxic monsters are rare, maybe 2% of the population, roughly around the same frequency as male psychopaths.
Gami_Lon 10y ago
My husband dated a borderline. He has a ton of these stories. Here's one of them:
The two of them were getting lunch one day. The restaurant where they were eating also did weddings. As they walked by a wedding reception, his borderline girlfriend noticed that there were about two hundred people at the reception, just on the other side of the door. She opened the door to the wedding reception and began removing her top.
He stopped her from entering.
But just think about this one for a minute:
This borderline was prepared to ruin someone's wedding reception, in front of two hundred people, simply because she could. And she did it so casually, the same way that a normal person would cross the street or hail a cab.
As the borderline saw it, there were two hundred people paying attention to someone BESIDES HER and she knew how to stop it: take her top off.
And could you imagine how that would affect the poor girl getting married? Some borderline wing nut isn't getting enough attention, so she needs to crap all over her wedding? And it's not like she even KNEW the girl; it was completely reflexive.
aazav 10y ago
Manufactured drama. That's it 100%.
Here's my hypothesis on the subject based on observation of some close family members.
If that person lives a life where just when all is well, something terrible happens, and it happens over and over again, if that pattern ever stops, they must continue it because it has become their life.
This person will never realize it, will never accept it, and life with them will be a constant "everything is going fine… time for a disaster!"
It's horrible, and if this is a parent, it can create fucked up offspring.
veege2007 10y ago
I can confirm about the lying. Was dating this girl and used to call her out on her Bullshit every know and then. Also at around our 3rd date, she almost broke in tears when I playfully said "I don't like you" (like you know how a normal person would catch you are being sarcastic), and another day she made this huge fucking deal calling me a stalker and getting pissed just because I was having some drinks with my friends in the same bar she was with her friends. Crazy people will drag you down with them, stay away and learn the red flags.

God this describes my cunt sister perfectly. The last two paragraphs are SPOT ON. She hasn't been officially diagnosed with anything, but I think that's because she's coddled all the time and assumed to just not have as well of emotional control as others do.

This first article is extremely accurate in describing the characteristics of this horrible personality disorder. ofcourse some things i do not agree with. Perhaps research needs to be done to determine gender differences between BPD males and females.

My ex was misdiagnosed as bi-polar and for years we went round and round trying different meds with me waiting and hoping they'd finally straighten her out. It wasn't until we were separated she finally got diagnosed with BPD and then it all made sense why they couldn't fix or even put a dent in her kind of crazy.

I'm going to share with you guys my experience with crazy in a LTR (lesson learned LONG before coming to TRP.)
Things started out great. The sex was wild and lasted for hours at a time. In the heat of summer I would have to flip the mattress up on the bed for a couple of days and sleep on the couch after she'd been around to let the pools of sweat dry up. It wasn't uncommon to break for a drink or have a water bottle on hand those nights.
After a period of months we got serious with each other. Six months after that, I stopped enjoying the sex. Shortly after that, I tried to slow the sex up. This did not go down well. Screaming matches ensued.
Yet somehow, I still found the passivity to move in with her for a while. Don't even ask me why. I regard this as the largest mistake of my life to date. I lost my job at the same time, and she assumed financial control of the situation. I turned to videogames in an effort to ignore her, and used to masturbate in secret in the hopes I wouldn't be able to crack an erection that night.
Of course, this was found out, and instead of being shamed for porn watching, it became a shared interest. Things got more explorative (role playing, costumes, watching porn together) and the sex life improved dramatically for a short while. But my interest quickly petered out again.
Her frustration began to build, and it turned into violent outbursts. She used to hit me so hard she'd bruise her palms, then hit me some more because apparently it was my fault. One night, I actually refused her sex in the middle of one of her tantrums. I rolled over and dozed, not moving until I felt a sharp pain on my arm.
She was a self-harmer as well, which was something we'd discussed and I thought she'd buried - literally as well as emotionally - before I moved in with her. I sat up and blood saturated my upper arm and t-shirt. She freaked and grabbed tissues. I have a scar just under 10cm long from that, and it still makes me queazy to think about it. It's the largest scar I have, which includes operations, animal attacks and misshaps with barbed wire fencing.
The worst part is I covered for her ass by saying I rolled onto an exposed blade that must have been left out from unpacking a box.
Moral of the story: Don't stick your dick in crazy.

Wait, she sliced your arm with a razor? Because you wouldn't have sex that night?

petite_squirrel 10y ago
I knew someone who dated a women, knew she was crazy (some combination of schizophrenia with psychotic breaks), married her. She can't hardly hold a job, and at least a few times she's driven across country to see her ex. Her ex hates her, once she showed up at his work, would not leave. followed him home, attempted to break into his apartment. Psycho shit. She's got her mental issues under control now though, she's a 10/10 now but I don't think it's worth it to get into a bad relationship with the intention of trying to fix the other person.
Don't stick your puddin' pop in crazy.

ogrethebuffoon 10y ago
Speaking as a guy with bipolar disorder type I, there's a big difference between someone who's managing their disorder well and someone who is not. If they're taking care of themselves with proper nutrition, sleep, exercise, sun, meditation, meds, etc., then it could be many years before you even see them have any serious symptoms often due to very stressing circumstances that would throw anyone for a loop (although of course not as bad as we have it). We're at least worth dating if everything else is in order. I don't think anyone is worth marrying, bipolar or not.
I agree that if someone has a mental illness and they're not taking responsibility for it, then run and don't look back. But don't completely write off everyone who is diagnosed even if those of us who manage it well are a minority. You could be missing out on a wonderful person.
[deleted] 10y ago
With all due respect, playing devils advocate here:
Not really. If your successful you have access to a large pool of people, so by filtering out mental illness you'll still be left with a big variety of people. The risk reward maths would indicate it's simply better to write off those with mental illnesses, even if you miss out on someone who is otherwise good the flip side of the coin is too great.
Granted if your someone that has isn't so successful it might be your only option but I implore everyone that can to do so.
ogrethebuffoon 10y ago
That's fair. I just personally wouldn't want to be written off like that when I know I have a lot to offer.
[deleted] 10y ago
I stated this in my top level reply to the post: my personal view is that it's different between male and female here. You can and should all think what you want based off your past experiences, however to me it appears on average the males are much better at dealing with and potentially resolving part or all of their condition. I'm of the view females are more prone to letting it affect those around them and due to the already low accountability it just like adding oil to fire.
So to clarify, my line of reasoning doesn't conclude that you should be written off just because of your condition.
ogrethebuffoon 10y ago
I see what you're saying, of the few other bipolar people I know of I think it's true that most of the men still manage to support themselves. The women seem to attract white knight betas or they remain a burden to their family.

SgtBrutalisk 10y ago
Yup, recognized all the details in my brother's girlfriend. She told me that I am "too sensitive" when I asked why she is being such a bitch, also told me to stop "playing a victim". She is a fucking parasite and plans to drain me of my newfound wealth via my brother. I was living with my brother in his apartment, I am moving out in 2 days. Not a day too soon.
My brother thinks I hate women because I told him feminism destroyed motherhood and femininity, not to mention what he would say if I tried to explain him what I really think.
I wish him a merry blue pill life and marriage with the 3/10 landwhale GF he is jealously guarding.

While there are bi-polar guys (a male bi-polar neighbor shot himself after a manic episode where he spent two grand on dumb shit; manic-depression, get it?), it has a much larger and more severe effect on women. You know, because dudes can handle shit better.

roparker2014 10y ago
This is just wrong sorry. There are no studies which show men "handle" mental illness better. There is no measurable difference in recovery rates, compliance rates (how they stick to their treatment), readmission rates (to mental health wards) between males and females. The only noted difference is the far higher number of mental health issues which result in suicide among males than females (male schizophrenics for example are several times more likely to take their own life than female schizophrenics - and also much more likely to commit violence against other people while in a psychotic state. I don't think this really shows that we "handle" mental illness any better than women...
The bad science, assumptions, unsubstantiated theories based on what people claim is their own "experience" really lets this sub down sometimes and I feel the need to point it out.
