.....health/mental disorders?

Specifically ones that affect you daily, and that could play a major part in your relationship.

I wouldn't until you think there is a chance he will be sticking around for a while.

DH wouldn't have found out about my stuff till later if he hadn't already known most of it cause of my ex (who was his best friend at the time lol)

Me I would make it known early into it incase it is a deal breaker for them.

I'm the same way. I would rather not get emotionally attached.

But a friend of mine thinks that getting to know a person could stop a guy from being scared off by something he would have been worried about initially.

I had a total abdominal hysterectomy and I have Lupus and fibro...I told him about 2 dates in. Easier to get it out of the way.

I would say after you get close or when u talk about taking it to the next level of being exclusive. You don't wanna come right out and freak them out but u don't wanna wait for it to come up cause what guy is gonna be like "so you got any mental disorders?"

At least he didn't seem to care! You managed to tie him down.  

I keep freaking out when I see where you're from, and then I'm like "Oh, it's Juggy, I knew that."

I have FMS too. =[ And also some pretty debilitating mental health issues. I'm easing my way back into dating, and I'm really hesitant about it for these reasons.

I told DH the first time I met him. Lol. I have bipolar disorder and anxiety issues before I got pregnant I was taking meds daily for both. So, I felt like he should know right away. haha

Hahaha juggy! I like that! that should be my new nickname  

And, I was also 8 months pregnant with his best friend (at the time) baby. I don't think there was much I could have done to scare him off if he was already interested lol.

I like your SN, but I will forever call you Juggy.   Haha. I wish something like that would happen to me. I mean, I'm young, so I don't doubt it will happen eventually. I'm just hoping I'll find a guy that feels like he needs me in his life. Baw.

That works! I like Juggy too  

Honestly, I never thought I would find someone one I did. I had told myself a few weeks before meeting DH that I was done looking and if I was meant to get married, the guy could find me. Then, about 2 weeks after I did that DH and I started talking.

That would be my reasoning. Not only just for me, but for him as well. I am manic-depressive (or was, who knows, I have not had a depressive period since I moved out of my abusive step-mom's house almost 6 yrs ago) and I still warned my now husband about it. I was honest, and said what happens, but that it was something that does not effect me often. He was fine with it.
I had a teacher once tell the class (adult class) that it important to disclose those things just incase something comes up in the future. Just so that the person is aware it can happen and so they wont freak out when it does happen.

I don't think time matters as much as how you state it.

That's a very good point! Delivery definitely matters, too!
