Dating a psychopath

Lifestyle Relationships

So this thread is not about me because I mean seriously who would post their personal life issues on GS right right? right. But what if you know that the person you are dating is a psychopath? do you run and never look back or do you think you can do a cure for the crazies ?

My dad treats psychopaths so I know they can sometimes change.. In all honesty if I was dating one and thought I loved him I'd send him off for treatment and wait and see what happens..

Run and never look back! If I use the word crazy about my SO it better only be when I say (or wish) that he's crazy about me.

But psychopaths need love too :(

Re: Dating a psychopath

not if they become detrimental to your emotional and physical state of mind.
We have places for psychopaths, it's called an asylum or a psych ward, they will get love and treatment there.

But we are human Deeba. We may give all our best for the first few years of the relationship but eventually we will wear out. And children will have a difficult time too, if there are any.

True.. I just feel sorry for some of them, esp if they've lost the plot due to being abused as a child or something..

Re: Dating a psychopath

yea but they can also be very cunning and manipulative, and smart enough to know when to say what and how to act when, especially when they're in a relationship with someone.

I would go to Faraway Land and live with Shrek and Fiona! :khumar:

On a serious note, it all depends on the situation. Is the “patient” curable? How abusive (mentally/physically) is he? Would therapy help? Is he considered dangerousif not attended by doctors or put in an assylum? But most of all, how much do you love him to go through all of that for him?

Re: Dating a psychopath

By treat, do you mean he is a psychiatrist/psychologist? Which one? I wonder if there are any drugs out there to cut down on their anti-social symptoms, or the kind of psychotherapy used for them... Hmmm.

Re: Dating a psychopath

^Psychiatrist.. There are drugs that can control their symptoms but then again the person has to make sure they do actually carry on taking their medication and/or therapy as long as they need it..

A psychologist usually deals with more minor problems as they aren't qualified to prescribe drugs..
