Does he actually have PPD?
Do those with PPD ever get better with time?
Does your man recognize that he a problem?
Is there anything that has worked to improve the relationship?

My boyfriend is the most amazing man I've ever met. Our connection is incredible. We are spiritually, intellectually, emotionally and physically compatible and this is the first time I've ever had that. I suppose this is why I am unwilling to leave him due do his paranoid delusions. I'm just finding out about them. I think they are classified as persecutory delusions. He things Satanists are after him and trying to poison him. He things that he has a lot of enemies and that he can't live the life he wishes to live because they are always after him. He even says that at one point the CIA was involved and that they were trying to protect him. Ugh. He swears of course that he isn't delusional and that all of the experiences are real. I have so far just listened to him and reassured him that I don't think he's crazy. He is a very serious man except with me he really loosens up and we laugh a lot. He's a believer in God and Jesus Christ which is what seems to be keeping him fairly stable. Is it possible to have a relationship with someone who has these delusions? He's been to the hospital but doesn't want to take any medication because a) he believes he isn't delusional and b) he doesn't like how the medication alters his personality. I guess the meds make him feel drowsy and emotionless and he feels like a zombie. I don't want that for him either. I have yet to see him go through an episode but he does have a paranoia with food. He can't eat at restaurants for fear of being poisoned. Before I met him he was malnourished but now he's getting a bit better and trying to eat more, usually just buying fresh fruits, veggies, and nuts from the grocery store. He is very kind and hasn't displayed any anger or anxiety since we met either. I guess I'm having a hard time believing that he's delusional. I almost find myself hoping that people are actually out to get him and he really is being poisoned. Strange to hope for that I know. I love him so much and it's hard to imagine him as someone with this problem. I think I might stick with him until he has an episode and then see what that may be like. I'm praying for a miracle because this is truly a man I wish so much to have in my life as my partner. Any thoughts or advice on how to be supportive or helpful?
