Would you break up with your GF if she's Anorexic?

I was diagnosed with Anorexia about five years ago, and it has made me weary of getting into a relationship. It seems as if all social gatherings and dates revolve around food - from theme parks, movies, meeting the parents, family gatherings and dinner, there's always that pressure to eat.

Would it be really off-putting to you if a girl constantly watched what she ate to a point that it is obsessive? I'm worried because when guys ask me out for dinner, I always so "no" or suggest something else like coffee.

You've probably got a vile appearance to match your vile character. So er, you shouldn't be too concerned about the appearance of a girl. :

The fact that you will end up infertile and jaundiced sitting in a hospital bed with end stage renal failure puts me off a little more than you not wanting to come to nandos with me to be honest.

OP- like others hve said, if a man expect a relationship to be without flaws, if he can't be there for you when your suffering then he shouldn't be with anyone at all. And are you being treated for it? Good luck for your recovery!

I find it a bit strange that everyone seems to be much more accepting of a situation where a girl becomes anorexic. Flip it over and change the girl's situation to someone who develops food addiction (which is also a psychological disorder) and I bet the sympathy would dry up.

It's a really sad that both unhealthy conditions aren't always approached with equal sympathy. I make specific reference to the poster who said they'd love to date an anorexic because they fancy skinny girls (such a stupid, ill-considered comment) without taking into consideration that they are both physically and mentally unwell and could in some extreme cases die. Grrrr. Really riles me how being unhealthily thin is being encouraged by some thoughtless people.

I think it would stress me out quite a bit and I would worry too much if they were eating correctly or if they also had bulimia.

He's not allowed to have an opinion about what kind of body shape he finds attractive? Why does this make him 'vile'?

Out of interest why does bulimia make it worse?

They are two seperate conditions, though often commonly linked. It would make it worse as they would have two eating disorders that I would worry about. Anytime they would be at the toilet, they could possibly be throwing up. If I see them gorging on food I would worry that later they would just throw it up again. It also ends up making the anorexia worse through negative re-enforcement
