Break your inner voice,
You need tons of evidence to break up with somebody you love,
Don’t be afraided and move with patience and caution,

You just moved in with him and it’s going downhill already? That’s not a good sign. You might as well tell him now about your voices. When the paranoia sets in, especially when convinced someone’s going to kill you or that you’re going to die those symptoms can last a very LONG time if the right medication isn’t found and used. It will take a lot out of you and tbh it will take a lot out on him and he deserves to know the truth and what he’s in store for so he can try to grasp what to expect and how to deal with it. All relationships are tough, but when we or someone we love get the “lovely” burden of constant paranoia that just adds more to the stress of the relationship. I don’t want to scare you, because it’s still workable, just everyone involved needs to be on the same page. If you keep something like a major illness to yourself it can create trust issues and those are hard to recover from. He will have to educate himself on the illness, but if he loves you that shouldn’t be a problem, but you have to do your part too, including being honest, admitting to yourself that it’s the disease and that the voices are not real and getting on the right medication. For the relationship to work and work where there’s more love then fighting open communication is a must. This isn’t an illness you can hide for very long.
Actually we shared my schizo afective early because he has the same diagnosis! Weve been together for 2 years and a couple months… When he has symptoms he shares it with me but im not as able to be as open, and im just scared that i wont explain it right cause im not even sure how these feelings are, i dont want to break up i just need something more not just material needs, but emotional…
That’s very understandable! Some men aren’t great at showing their emotions the way we need!

Also speak to your doctor
the fear is causing anxiety?
I can understand that.
are you afraid he’s going to want to leave you?
always good to be up front and honest.
