Boyfriend Behavior His Personality Or Bipolar Disorder? Posted: 12-20-04 08:49am
Does anyone know...Or have personal
insight on this?
My boyfriend of one and half years, has
recently become emotionally abusive to me,
and has hurt my wrist this past weekend
his excuse for it was cause his hand was
between my thighs, closer to my bent
knees, and I squeezed on it ( I really
don't recall doing this, and if I did,
fine, that was wrong, but I did not
deserve for him to take both my hands that
are much smaller than his, and squeeze
both of them,
to where my left wrists hurts,right?)
this action, is it part of his
persoanlity
like he needs anger mangament classes?
Or is it directly related to his
diganossed bipolar disorder?
prior to this, he was such a loving really
sweet and kind guy.
Ugh, I am frustrated by this of course,
i never dated anyone with bipolar disorder
prior, or who ever hurt me before...
I guess I am still in shock by this
thanks for listening, and responding.

Hey Shanti1, Posted: 02-13-08 10:12am
I am Bipolar (female) and in a loving
relationship (for nearly two years now)
and even though I have yelled, screamed
at, and been a total person to my
boyfriend before (when I'm cycling) things
have NEVER gotten physical. But listen, I
really did not understand the way you
worded that, did he mean to hurt you or
was it an accident? If it was an accident,
you have nothing to worry about ( I mean
hey, most guys don't know their own
strength) but if he did it on purpose, and
purposely meant to hurt you or cause you
pain, I'd honestly, personally end the
relationship right here and now. Bipolar,
Schizophrenic, Anger problems, etc., are
absolutely NO EXCUSE to physically hurt
you. Trust your heart on this one. If he
was always a sweet, loving guy and you
think this was a total accident, then
absolutely stay with him (hey, accidents
totally happen right?) but if you really
think that he had the intention to
physically cause you pain, end it right
here and now. You do not want to put
yourself in this type of situation
indefinably.
Hope I helped,
-RGL

Listen to JuiceBoxxx. The shock you are
experiencing is your early warning system,
telling you that this relationship should
go no further. Bipolarity does not mean
violent behaviour. That is another
disorder altogether and one that can be
very difficult to treat. I am assuming
that you asked the question because you
already suspected the truth. Go with your
instinct and be safe!
