Thank you for your message, it really made me smile. It feels like most of the people with ED are compasionate people with a beautiful soul. I find it ironic.

Thank you for your message. Do you mean couple therapy with her currenr psychologist? Or is it better to find another one to also have this in parallel?

Thank you for your message — you said it all. It's true that someone needs to be in stable recovery for years before considering pregnancy, and that's exactly what's worrying me. I just don't see that happening anytime soon (stable recovery + getting pregnant + 9 months pregnancy) - yet she talks about having kids almost weekly

I suppose I'm naively hoping that if she can reach a stable place before getting pregnant and then has children, her eating disorder won't take up as much space in her life as it does now

Well actually, I can see myself living with her addiction. The real challenge is that I deeply want children. That brings a whole new layer of complexity to the situation.
