What It’s Like To Date Someone With An Eating Disorder
The rare times it’s high, she’ll want to act on that
People with eating disorders usually aim for some perceived “perfect body” or “perfect behavior” in their minds. On the days they achieve that, they often want to have sex—they feel like they’ve earned it. On the rare occasion, your partner does have a sex drive, it’s important you don’t turn her down. This is important for several reasons including the fact that, as a couple, sex is an important part of bonding and the fact that turning her down could trigger her bad behaviors. I know—it’s a lot of pressure on you.
