what’s uppp i need an opinion on something i was in a mental health facility (non-state funded - there were ~15 of us living in a mansion (though people came and went) & were transported to + from groups daily) from jan 5th–feb 8th. while i was in there, i met a guy who came in a couple weeks after i did. we were good friends at first & got along real quickly. we began to have feelings, & got physical there (no seggs tho!!). fast forward, we are now in the same sober living. girls & boys are in separate apartment complexes, but we still see each other 5/7 days at groups & sometimes we all go to events on the weekends. although we communicate about everything, & i mean everything, including worries (ab the circumstances), struggles, good things, literally everything from the time we wake up to when we go to bed, you could still consider us a “rehab romance”. my only thing is that neither of us prevent each other from focusing on our own program & we’re still doing what we need to do separately to succeed here. we’re not trading one addiction for another. we just support each other in whatever we do, whether we stay together or not. anyway, i guess what i want to know is, is this wrong? is this a bad idea? i know if i have to ask, i answer my own question, but it’s not unhealthy. people who have seen us together have said we don’t act weird or unhealthy. i just want more input. if you have any more questions about this situation, i will be happy to answer. thank u guys

      I agree with the person above, and communication is key to any relationship no matter the kind. Being open about what is going on with yourself and how you see your future and vice versa is vital if that person will stay in your life. It shouldn't matter where you meet but since it was a mental health facility, make sure both of you are mentally stable or can help each other reach mentally stable by being together. Good luck! ❤️

      Personally I don’t think it’s a bad idea, if you know he really wants to get better and won’t bring you down on your own recovery id say go for it. It would also be healthy to communicate this to him and ask him what his intentions are / what he sees as the end goal of the relationship. Best of luck. 💖
