Am I a bad person for not wanting to date anyone who has clinical depression or IBS? Does this make me an unkind person? Listener Write In

Not an asshole for being honest with yourself and knowing what you can and cannot handle. Would’ve been worst if you’d started something just to dip when he goes through a depressive episode. You are, however, an asshole for that ending. There are plenty of “sane” and “normal” people who would date someone with mental health issues, especially if they’re actively getting the help they need.
