- 7x6,
'mentally unstable' is a bit of a broad term.
I have experience of two women who qualify. One was a lovely woman who was prone to depression, possibly a manic depressive, it was kind of hard to deal with as sometimes she'd fly into uncontrollable rages with her own kids and occasionally mine. Nothing actually violent but sometimes verbal abuse, which was an incredible contrast to the person she was the rest of the time.
We split up and got back together many times in a two year period, invariably as 'fuckbuddies' at first before deciding to 'try again', something which clearly didn't help her at all. The last time we got back together I promised myself I would actually try to do what it took to bring some stability to our relationship and see if it would help. In the event I just didn't have the strength and left for the final time for complex and spurious reasons that seem to insane to recount here.
The other was a woman much harder to pin a label on, kind of a control freak who played mind games. She was much much worse but did it in such a way that I was on the back foot trying to hold our relationship together, so much so that I didn't even have time to think about if I should be. I stuck this out for several years, god knows why. I think it gave me insight to how I was treating the first woman. I really wish i'd met them in the opposite order...
