the biggest obstacle is going to be his willingness/ability to see how his mental health and his attitude affect us and our relationship. some of his behaviors and thoughts are concerning to me and others who know him, but he just tells me we're all having the same delusion.

all i can do is be supportive, lead by example and keep talking. the man i fell in love with is still in there, he's just buried under tons of shit and it's ultimately up to him to dig out of it.
