That I don't know, as I have not lived with another eating disorder but my own. Reading it though it certainly sounds like disordered eating, and it would be a trigger for my food stuff, and would be hard for me to detach from.

I was fortunate and got support pretty early, but until I wanted it there was nothing that anyone was going to be able to do for me. I struggled to translate that hands off though in my relationship (and what got me here with a problem drinker).

Only you are going to be able to decide if it is something you can live with? My eating disorder impacted my social life (not eating out, getting together with friends etc). Is that happening for you guys, is it something you can live with?
