I cheated on my mentally Ill ex, and I don't regret it.

“Positions” have nothing to do with it! You could have everything you ever wanted and still be depressed.

That's my issue. I DO have everything. Its HORRIBLE. I'm in a position where I'm pretty much in charge, I have a comfortable life-style, yet it's so goddamn restricting. I want more than that, I want to impose myself on others with little to no qualms, yet I can't really make an excuse for it, and it pisses me off.

I do agree with the point about how a person decides to act on their issues. If someone tells you their depressed and you try to lead them in a direction that could help (like suggesting going to the doctors) and they say no... then there’s not much you can do.

My ex literally attempted these things, I just already know she is incurable. She is very kind superficially, but I know she is just as self-absorbed and pathetic as I'd be, only I admit to it. I literally gave her advice on how to structure her life and she literally is lazy and disgusting.

You made yourself seem like a fucking asshole that used her and made it seem like it was her illnesses fault. What you are telling me now is very different from what you posted.

I did, just not in the way you think. I don't get my kicks out of using people, not my thing. I get my kicks from how fixated they are towards me,how I can control how they feel, and now I don't have that anymore. Her mental illnesses did cause problems in the relationships, I just never cared about them in the first place, as bad as that sounds.
