That’s real. I’ve had two ex’s with serious mental health issues and most of my friends thought they were “crazy”, but they really just needed medication or therapy or for capitalism to die. One of my most recent ex’s had some severe mental health issues and depression. Ended up not working out for various reasons.
Sometimes I feel bad when I recount stories from that relationship, because they sound like “crazy ex” stories, but I do think some are funny. One time she wanted to very seriously break up with me because I chose a film for us to watch which I thought she’d like but that she hated because she found it to be too “petit bourgeois”. She said she couldn’t understand how she could love someone who liked that film. She was a radlib ”commie" by the way, but just really funny shit like that. She wanted to fucking dump me because my film taste was too lib. She told me later she was just upset that we watched that instead of what she wanted to watch with me, but she thought I wouldn’t like it so didn’t propose it. We ended up watching it later and I really liked it as usual.
Hindsight can make those stories into something we can chuckle about but going through it in the moment is tough. Unfortunately I don’t really have any of those “it’s funny now” stories about my last ex.
I’ve never dated a real commie or radlib type. My wife has good opinions but isn’t plugged in, and I envy her for it. I always wanted to date someone who was on my level politically. My last ex was what we would call a turbolib now. She meant well, but like most of her actions, they never amounted to anything tangible. She would go to the protest, but she wasn’t interested in getting organized beyond that.
