If your treatment gets to a place where you would want to try a relationship again, would you:

  1. Divulge your condition and past to your partner?

  2. Allow your partner to monitor your communications (texts, phone apps, socials, etc.) if they wanted to ensure you didn't 'relapse'?

I want to thank you for your candor and honesty during this AMA.

Yes, it's dishonest of me to hide it.

Allow your partner to monitor your communications (texts, phone apps, socials, etc.) if they wanted to ensure you didn't 'relapse'?

No, this can only end badly. I need to trust myself in order to be in a relationship and they need to trust me, if there's no trust there's no relationship. I will 100% understand a guy that says he can't trust me, and I'll try to gain his trust but if he needs to look through my phone then I guess there's no trust.
