My boyfriend is a paranoid schizophrenic which causes him to be hostile, nitpicky and I always feel like I'm walking on eggshells with him. He also made me promise to not think or talk about certain views I have that are very important to me because they're too radical for him and doesn't respect my views at all.

 His illness also makes him seem disinterested a lot of the time, making it even more difficult to connect. I've been extremely patient because I love him but mentally ill or not, I don't know if I can tolerate the consistent disrespect and disinterest.

 I know ultimately this is for me to decide (on whether to leave) but input and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I don't know if his condition excuses him fully for how he acts. Thanks
