DollWelch Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 That's the down side. The upside is, he's a great person. He's articulate, understanding, good looking, intelligent, caring, and much more. The problem becomes is this a deal breaker, more or less? I have been thinking of ways to accept and trust this person, but to no avail. So, Would you?
Trojan John Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Wait, are we talking mean demons like Gozer the Gozerian, or sexy demons like that Zuul chick?
SpanksTheMonkey Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 As in? like quick some one ring the church Timmy's head is spinning back wards! or demons as in vices? dose he have a addiction? I'm guessing its the later of the two in that case id say depends on weather or not hes planing on doing something about it?

I don't think this is a good idea and it should be a deal breaker. Beelzebub is a tricky one and if he possesses your boyfriend's body, your boyfriend may speak in tongues and try to kill you or himself.
Author DollWelch Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 When I mentioned/wrote 'Demons', I meant 'Evil Spirits'. Nothing of the sexual or fantasy based kind. And, yes, he's tried in the past to reach out to someone to fix/heal him. But it's still an on-going process for him. He's confident in the idea that someday he will be healed. At this point, I'm terrified. The whole situation is too much to bear. I have discussed this with him, and he continuously assures me that he's not evil. At all. Rather that he's a normal man trying to fight this with all his might. I don't know how much of that is truth. If any. I'd like to get to know him better but I'm holding back, immensely.
shadowofman Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Um.......Mods have at me, but if he believes that evil spirits are possessing him.., um.. he is probably, clinically insane. There are no such things as demons in the literal sense. I mean, most of us have our figurative demons...in which case, part of him is actually capable of evil. As we all are capable of some evil. A delusional person that believes demons are influencing him is dangerous. He is relieved of the consequences of his actions by claiming that his evil was not actually his doing.
shadowofman Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 BTW, stories of demons/evil spirits are rooted in medieval fantasy. Often sexual fantasy such as the incubus and succubus. Sexual guilt is a powerful reality bender.

Why would you want to be with someone who scares you? Has this guy been messing around with Ouija Boards?
karma84 Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Why does he think he's possessed? Does he uncontrollably break out into psychotic episodes or blackout and not remember stuff that happened? Be more specific, pls.
shadowofman Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Has this guy been messing around with Ouija Boards? Oh Parker Brothers! P. T. Barnum was right, wasn't he?
Trojan John Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I'm guessing that it's more demons like Spawn -- the anti-hero kind. Does your boyfriend have any living clothing, or a hideously burned face?

Additionally, in the bedroom, it'd be like being with a range of 'people'.
TaraMaiden Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 If he's telling you he's possessed by demons, you need to distance yourself from him immediately. Not because I actually believe in Demons, a la 'supernatural' bilge... But because he is seriously delusional, potentially dangerous and a complete and total liability. If he's reached out in the past, he didn't reach very far, did he? Where did that get him? Who did he reach out to? The paper delivery boy? If someone told me they were possessed by demons, I' drive him to the nearest psychiatric hospital and dump him in reception. They're professionally, medically and clinically equipped to deal with such matters. You're not. This guy is a total no-no. Walk away, and quickly.
Art_Critic Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I think as long as the demons aren't evil then why not ?
Frontliner Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Demon possession is pretty serious and only a few individuals can handle such a burden. For most people it's a constant internal struggle and it definitely affects their relationships. Other people let the demons take them over and give in. I think you being there for him will help him fight them.
harmfulsweetz Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I vote pro-demon! You guys would seriously discriminate against a guy because he has demons following him around? I don't know about you, but I can't think of a good reason not to date him, you'd never be bored that's for sure.
jthorne Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 No... There are way too many relatively healthy guys out there that are articulate, understanding, good looking, intelligent, caring, and much more. And they aren't posessed by demons.
harmfulsweetz Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 No... There are way too many relatively healthy guys out there that are articulate, understanding, good looking, intelligent, caring, and much more. And they aren't posessed by demons. But...they are also capable of becoming boring, this guy, you could find hours upon hours of amusement. Exactly, there are way too many healthy guys out there, so why go with them when you can have one of a kind? I say, date him.
quankanne Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Um.......Mods have at me, but if he believes that evil spirits are possessing him.., um.. he is probably, clinically insane. There are no such things as demons in the literal sense. I don't think he's insane, because yes, I do believe in evil spirits that try to possess us. Or for the most part, try to screw with our minds. OP, what sort of help is he getting to rid himself of these demons? Has he consulted an exorcist? If he's a church-goer, start there, but please don't rely on a generic "we're gonna meet so we can pray that sucker out," because demon possession, while rare is a serious thing and he will need a strong advocate to free himself. also check with the local catholic church to see what advice they can give; if you find a priest who treats it like it's just a mental condition, keep looking for one who can better discern whether it's something in his head or something actually trying to take possession. as for dating him, I think the question gets down to this: How much of yourself are you willing to invest? If it truly is demonic possession, you're going to be bombarded with some ugly shxt to discourage your help, and you'll need to know just how deep you want to get. At this point, however, this guy needs all the prayers and emotional support he can get if it's a true case of demonic possession.
espec10001 Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Crazy guys=crazy sex. The relationship might not last long but trust me they go wild in the sack
tkgirl Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 this is one of the craziest threads I've ever seen on LS! and I've been around for a while... my take? well first of all, I was raised Catholic so... enough said! and after I saw the Exorcist it scared.. well, the bejesus out of me! and I went through a time where I swore I was going to be possessed at some point or another... but then I grew up... and realized we ALL have demons we struggle with... it's part of being human! But truly possessed? no... I don't believe that can happen... this guy sounds like he could be suffering from schizophrenia (sp?) or some other disorder... and yeah he may be charming, articulate, handsome or whatever... but unless you want to be his psychologist, then mental issues are ALWAYS a dealbreaker!

That would just be a bad idea.
