    Navigating Psychosis, Co-parenting, and Loss of Romance in Relationships

    Mejor cita de Navigating Psychosis, Co-parenting, and Loss of Romance in Relationships

    “

    Romance often thrives on a little bit of the unknown, on surprises, on that spark of the unexpected. But after a psychotic episode, the 'unexpected' is terrifying, so the relationship over-corrects and becomes hyper-functional to avoid another breakdown.

    ”

    Pregunta de entrada

    I have Psychosis, and my partner has had to deal with it. I'm now getting better but my partner said our relationship is more like a business. It hurt because I have been trying my hardest. We have a child and co parent but my partner and I are very different. I miss romance which I can't get with my partner. We split up and I found a girlfriend but when I spilt up with her, my partner said it hurt. So I said I wouldn't get with anyone else. I miss romance, and excitement.
