Marrying kind

in the uk your are finacially better off without getting married my sis got married at that meant that she wasnt entitled to the benefits she was on before she had to live on her husbands salary.

If she were Salma Hayek, Madame Curie, and Mother Theresa wrapped up in one, I’d consider it. hehe

I want to get married. I would marry another person with sz. I like Hawii or somewhere in California where the weather is always nice.

I would be willing to marry someone with schizophrenia, as long as he was stable, and/or recovered, as I do believe people can recover from schizophrenia.

yeah two schizos having a baby gives the baby a 50% chance of becoming schizophrenic, so a schizophrenic couple having multiple kids would be breeding schizophrenics for sure, and I wouldnt want my kids to go live the schizophrenic life, remission and medicated or not, i just wouldnt wish this on anyone.

the thing about me is that I recovered very quickly- six months of experimenting with meds and boom, remission, no longer psychotic at all. I would be really fine with someone who is not as lucky as me- it would be a chance for me to help in a way that others cant- by having insight, by having real empathy for their episodes and symptoms. It sucks to not be able to explain why I don’t drink and have fun to normal girls I date.

I also feel like I just can’t stand normal people and their ā€œtroublesā€ after making it through a world of nightmares. Normal girls are just like ā€œI study its so stressfulā€ and I just think ā€œYeah im sure youre very distressed, I maintained a full scholarship while psychotic as ā– ā– ā– ā– ā€

I can’t feel much empathy for normal people, I just resent them for being ignorant about this disease most of the time

My first husband and I were married 25 years, who is to say who is the crazy one? Some can hide it better than others.
I got married again this year to husband #2 this year, and can’t say I was looking for someone specifically, we just happened to have a lot in common and genuinely liked each others company.
Who is crazy this time? IDK…but we are both compatable.

I would love to say that I would go for it and jump into marriage and let love conquer all… But I have to agree with CarolineC in that the person HAD to be at a stable point in their life.

But that goes for anyone with SZ or without. It does no good to marry anyone who hasn’t found that inner stability. There are non-sz gals who are just as heavy drinkers, just as flighty, just as many other problems… Stability first… marriage later. I’m not going to seek out an SZ gal, but I’m not going to rule one out either. I’m not dating right now, so I have no idea who will cross my path.

But if they are stable, patient, and have a huge sense of humor… I’ll be willing to start the process.

I doubt it. I distrust people too much. And I don’t believe sexuality. What I mean by that is, I don’t believe we’ve been properly represented on either the male or female sides of things. We don’t know what being a man is, and we don’t know what being a woman is. We’ve… I don’t know… brushed it aside, and left it up to the loudmouths. Who got it wrong…

In the year 3000 there is no more marriage. Men and women can’t get along with each other enough. And technology has made it too easy to kill your lover, for even the most mundane of disagreements. Its like the trigger of a gun. 6 pounds of pressure to end an entire life. Everything becomes like that in the future. Way too easy… Simple emotions all become suspect. Most women in that time get their vaginas genetically re-engineered with jellyfish dna, and eat their husbands for their stem cells sitting on their faces to stay young looking. The secret cosmetic. Most men foolish enough to get married in the year 3000 wind up bed-ridden, spider web covered husks. Barely alive, and on the verge of death… paralyzed and kept awake thru the digestive process of their wives sitting on them enjoying themselves. While their wives keep them hidden under the sheets, and pretend like nothings happening… their pta card games.

Yes I would get married to the right person but it is hard to find someone who would accept me with the diagnosis. I am 28 and it seems everyone i know is getting married much, MUCH younger than me. I do feel a little jealous tbh.

Yeah, well I’d like to say that just because you think you know someone, you don’t ever really know them. Not really.
How is it that Im the stable one?
