Would you marry someone who is emotionally unstable ?

This is not necessarily the same as someone being mentally ill. This mostly has to do with a persons inner persona and their coping abilities with issues of the past.
What do you think.

    If their issues are coping from the past, these can be slowly and steadily be dealt with over time with understanding and compassion. At times it might mean I would take the brunt of it too. If I love him enough, it would not stop me because I would be prepared to stand by him and help him overcome.

    Perhaps if I really loved that person, I would have a long engagement period. I would talk over the emotional problems with her, and let her know that I'd be with her because se stability might mean a big difference for her, as does your honesty in communication.

    Nope! Probably not a good idea to have two of us in the same house. ;-)

    No. Knowing that the person is emotionally unstable, those are huge red flags if you get married anyway.

    people just become who they are if it is defined by how they feel and react to things as a result of their past and no med can change that only comfort it

    You can't always tell who is and who isn't emotionally stable right away...but some great clues are...too much alcohol....drug use...wild behaviour...morose or depressed behaviour...hostility...abusiveness...etc etc.

    nope. One of the best things about my husband is he's stable. My last boyfriend was emotionally unstable and needy and selfish as it is, I don't want to deal with that for my whole life. You can say "oh, well, I'll work with my spouse to fix it." but **** that, honestly. Get that crap fixed before you enter a marriage cause you don't know if the person will actually get help or not.

    Everyone has their issues that others have to put up with, but I would never willingly marry someone that was a constant source of turmoil and drama.

    I think most people marry someone who is emotionally unstable...it's just that the condition doesn't always manifest itself until after it's too late
