If you've been in a long term relationship with someone you claim to love, would you leave them if they became depressed and anxious and it started to affect the relationship? What if after you left they found out it was a thyroid disease and the medication cured them and they were back to themselves again. Would you regret leaving?

My boyfriend left me for this reason. Admittedly, I was nutso for nearly a year, because I went undiagnosed for too long. I got clingy, crazed and panicky. But it was all due to a stupid underactive thyroid. Now I'm okay. And I wonder if he has regrets. I still miss him.

i wouldn' t leave them at all because if i love the person, i wouldn't leave them when they need of me the most. and if i did and the person is back to themselves, i would regret it with all my heart because it was a stupid thing to do in the first place and i lost the person i cared for and to the most.

When you love someone and are in a long term relationship, when problems come along you have to address them. Whether they are physical, mental or otherwise because they can take a toll on the relationship. If you refuse to take care of problems they eventually they can be overwhelming not only too you but your partner as well. Usually when a love one leaves another, it is because the person has refused to get the help they need. When the problems have got out of control then you will be putting your mate in a award and sometimes very uncomfortable situation. Then it may be best for both of you that they leave, as they make think you might seek the help you need if they are not around. If you love someone you have to consider their feelings as well in any given situation and relationship.

first of all, that's the kind of stuff people do when they're young.
You don't just "Leave" someone. You learn to communicate and work together. Clearly, if someone were to leave in the situation described above, that says that they have no partnership with their mate and they don't work together to help each other through ups and downs. Life is hard and so are relationships. They take 24 hour work, 7 days a week... that includes sick time.

Yes, I would regret leaving. The person needs to ask themself if they love the person or are they "In Love"? You can love everyone but you are in love w/ few. That said; if you are truly in love, that person would've never left. A relationship is not a bed of roses. No one is perfect. There will be ups and downs.

I would only leave them if it was a case of alcoholism or drug abuse or something along those lines, and the person in question refused to get any help for their problem.
As far as your scenario, you'd better believe that the regret will be huge.

Of course, because if you left them when they needed your help you didn't love them. Love is making the other person a priority and taking their problems as yours. To leave them in their time of need means you were only thinking of yourself.
If I did do it, and had no idea they were sick I would regret it, and apologize.

Your not obligated to stay with a person. Even tho it makes you look like a jerk for leaving during their time of need. Obviously you have issues or else you wouldn't be asking because you either regret it or you don't.

Anyone who would leave someone they "love" when they get sick, should not have the privilege of being with them in the first place. I'd feel embarrassed, like an idiot and they'd deserve to tell me to go to hell.

No, I wouldn't leave. I would stick by them and figure out what's wrong with them. And I would regret it if I left...you don't abandon someone you truly love...
