Another Episode Or Reality? Posted: 05-08-05 00:59am
Confusion!!!!
Let me give you a little history. I was
in a serious relationship with a man who
suffers terribly from the depression part
of bipolar and is only being treated with
antidepressants which sometimes works and
sometimes not.
Anyways, he was upfront with me about this
from the get go so I knew or thought I
knew what I was in for. The last two
years have been a major ride...But I would
do it again cuz I am madly in love with
him. This man either isolates himself
from the world for a week at a time or has
periods of ok moods or he goes out and
doesn't come home (going out and getting
drunk....Alot)...
My issue is.....We had plans to move out,
I bought a condo...We both were very
excited about this, one minute we were
picking out paint color and the next
minute (one week later) he breaks up with
me......He says that it scared him and he
doesn’t love me anymore and wants to end
it....He says he loves being alone and on
his own terms. He has been on a extreme
high the last couple of weeks....Maybe
longer....I thought this was the next step
ahead in our relationship not the
end.......
I am stunned, we have been through alot in
this relationship and I felt that the love
was always there???? Can anyone relate to
this or give me some insight....

Hi, i'm exactly in the same situation like
you, my bf is bipolar ii, he can be so
romantic in the morning and telling me
that he wants to break up with me in the
night :( this is a normal mood swing, I
used to escape when he's telling me this,
and being apart for a while until he gets
good again.
If you need any help just email me or send
me here :)
best wishes

I find myself in a relationship with a
bipolar man and at least I can see from
this that his behavior is typical. I am
glad that I have found you because people
are suggesting to me that I should get out
of the relationship before it becomes
really serious - but I really care. It
has also been suggested to me that my
behavior is co-dependent and that I think
I can fix this person. I don't think I
think that I can fix him - but I think I
might be able to offer a little comfort.
But from what you all say - it is
important to let the bipolar person have
their space. So. I'm listening .
Thanks.
