Would you stay with someone who neglects their health?

Question

My fiancé has depression & anxiety, and what possibly seems like bipolar or manic depressive but he refuses to take any medication and is veryyyyy slow to go to counseling. He has a really bad temper as well. I’ve been trying to get him to go to counseling for a long time and when he did get medication before he lied about taking it. What would u do?

Answer

I think you really have to assess whether or not the situation is healthy for you. If he’s taking his anger out on you, that’s not a healthy situation for you. You need to make your own mental health the main priority for you.￼ He needs to make his own mental health his own priority. Unfortunately, you may have to make it perfectly clear to him that if he doesn’t get help, you can’t stay. ￼

Answer

I would never and have never remained In a  relationship where my partner doesn’t respect his health. That’s enabling.

Answer

If he is essentially refusing to help himself then there really isnt anything you can do for him or to help him. 
My POV is pretty simple. I say give anyone who needs a helping hand your hand. If he were willing to go to counseling, do the work, take the medications and needed understanding and love I would say give it to him. If you live him and it's worth it, then stick it out. 
However, his refusal is a clear signal that he has no interest in getting better...and has no issue in dragging you down as well. 
Life is short. You literally blink and enter new decades. There are plenty of good quality mates out there. Dont waste your time swimming in a cesspool with someone. Care for yourself and find a mate who is stable and can enrich your life. There are plenty out there.

Answer

It depends on how much you love him. Mental health isn't easy to maintain he probably needs to be pushed a little towards that direction. Took me years to find a doctor and even know that I have a therapist it's really hard to open up and allow the process. Maybe he just needs some more time and the right encouragement.

Answer

My ex of 9 years was bipolar and refused to get therapy or try medication and i stayed for damn near a decade, so my answer must be yes. But he didn't have an issue with anger at all. And for all of his faults, he never took anything out on me.
