Oh geez, I think I figured it out - I hadn't read the whole article fully. I'm pretty aware of people and tend to stay away from "savior" types who think they can come in on a white horse and save the day. As well intentioned as they might be, the behavior often seems unhealthy. I don't know enough about this particular situation but the phrase "I'll throw myself in front of a bus for her if she wants it" seems like a typical thing one of them would say. I often marvel at the dysfunction of seemingly "normal" people going around without any sort of diagnosis, compared to my actual behavior, which is always at least somewhat stigmatized. I hope that for their sake the relationship works out for them, but for my own peace of mind, I push those people away...
