anyone have any advice on dating someone w a mild eating disorder? i’m nearing official relationship status w my current partner w some issues. he’s even admitted it freely but almost in a joking manner. some days he’ll eat maybe some cereal and a piece of fruit, some days he’ll go 36hrs without eating. he’ll always have a full meal when he’s out w me which is good, but we only see each other once a week. i’ve never dated someone w an eating disorder or had one myself, so am looking for any tips on how to best support them without being overbearing.

Best thing you can do is research it as much as you can and be fully aware of what he’s going through Has he considered getting help? (I don’t know how this is treated I really don’t know much about it)

Ask them what they need to feel supported: different people are affected by their EDs in different ways
