This is a massive topic, and one I think I should start as it has paid a bit part in my mental health.
they say 'love is like a mental illness'.. although I don't know if I entirely agree, relationships can often be closely linked with someones happiness, and also seperation and loss can often lead to depression and anxiety.
most people in their life (I'm sorry to say) will be hurt from a relationship, this is normally to do with a split.. but can often be very messy. Generally people of a sensitive nature are hurt more from such events and might find it difficult to get over a loss.. staying friends with someone you have feelings for is also very difficult, and something I often struggle to achieve.
One example I have is a wife who is being beaten by her husband, she keeps going back claiming 'but he loves me'.. this would be a no win situation because if the husband is nice the wife loves him more, yet if he is violent she assumes she's done something wrong and is the one to blame.
this trend is often filtered back into dating, and the 'treat them mean, keep them keen' culture which is really rather horrible. It is also relective of the 'want you what you can't have' attitude..
anyway I'm sure some of you have much more insight into relationships in regards to mental health... Trev
