I actually have a couple of times. This fact was not disclosed to me before I dated these people, but had I known it to be the case, I doubt I would have pursued a serious relationship with them. Mind you both of them had *unmanaged* problems. If someone is schizophrenic, bipolar, etc and it is being professionally managed (and managed well) then I would have no qualms about it. I would hesitate to marry them because of the prevalence of disorders in my own family, unless there was no possibility of children.
It's definitely tough, especially if he/she ever gets institutionalized (this happened w/ my h.s. b.f.). You deal with a lot of ups and downs, not to mention irrational behavior. Some people just aren't cut out to deal w/ stuff like this.
