Hi. I`ve met this guy and we started to date. Yesterday he told me he suffers from bulimia. Like, I don`t know what to do now. How serious this eating disorder is? Will it affect our relationship? Is there anybody who could tell me more about ED in relationship?

Hi. My girlfriend suffers from bulimia. At first it was like a nightmare, but now I`m kind of a used on her problems. I avoid restaurants now. We never go outside to eat together. At the beginning of our relationship we used to go out a lot. But when we go to the restaurant I feel embarrassed every time. First she starts to eat. And she eats and she eats. Then she has to go to the bathroom to vomit. Now we avoid restaurants. ED in relationship is very hard to handle. But I want to help my girl. I feel like I am no supportive enough. When you have and ED in relationship you have to share your partner`s problems.
