  • My partner is a bipolar

    A friend introduced someone to you. You became acquaintances at first. Later on, you became friends. Time passed by and you became lovers. You have been together so 3 months now. On your relationship, you noticed that he is not a regular person. He changes his mood from time to time. Sometimes, he becomes so happy; other times, he becomes so depressed. Later on, you learned that he suffers from a bipolar disorder. Would you continue your relationship with that person?

    Yes, I would still continue to date him even if he's bipolar. But I would make sure that he's going to theraphy and taking his medication to keep his mood swings in check

      LovelyAlive every relationship I guess is somewhat tiring. As long as it will not result to physical violence, there is nothing wrong with giving it a try.

      Yes, I already do my job to help him, so if he will not help himself I dump him. lover404

    Is this a recent diagnosis or he has it for a long time already? Not sure how you were not able to know about his bipolar disorder considering that the two of you are friends before being a couple

      I would make him feel better, but I can't take it. I will break up with him. LovelyAlive

    If you love your partner, you would take him as he is. So, yes, in the name of love, I would keep my partner. I would help him to cope up with his condition. I believe that there is a medical help for that one.

      bemine You should be, you put in a lot for that guy and you are worthy to suffer to that kind of guy.

    Having a bipolar boyfriend is really hard. How do you deal with someone who would change his mood from time to time? Yes, he could be under medication, but I do not think that it would control everything. You would just give yourself a problem if you continue with the relationship.

      That would be dependent on a person, if she likes to suffer, then it's up to her. playagame

      If we are just dating, yeah I will probably leave him. merrygoround

    There is a treatment for bipolar. If the woman really loves the guy, she'll support him in his treatment because it can test even the strongest foundation build by the couples; married or not. His behavior will shake and may even scare the most supportive partner. What the partner should do is to find a good therapist and support groups that will take care of the needs of her boyfriend if he wants to keep the relationship. Personally, shall I keep[ it, yes.

      LovelyAlive Yeah I think it's really expensive, and we know that it's not curable.

      smartass They should find a person that will stay for them whatever happens.

    No, I would not keep him anymore. As soon as I could confirm his condition, the relationship would be ended. I do not want to be bothered on a daily basis. As for him, he should take whatever is necessary for his treatment.

      Based on your answer, I think that you he's better off with someone who's willing to be with him through his ups and downs.

    Unfortunately, a bipolar disorder is not curable. With that premise, I think that I would leave my boyfriend. Sorry, but I need to have my life, too. My world should not revolve around him.

      I'm guessing that you're the type who prefers to be cared of rather than the one who's taking care of their partner?

      Will it still be a no even if he's taking his medication and keeping those mood swings in check?

      Well, if that is the case, then I would not continue my relationship anymore. I need to think for myself, too.

    How sure are you that he's bipolar? Did he told you about his condition or you're only assuming it because of his mood swings?

      She's right. You have to confirm that he's really bipolar and not just assume things because of his before. It is possible that he's the type who can change his mood in a snap of a finger.

        She's right there are other mental illnesses out there that include mood swings as a symptom.

          I don't know, youngsterme but I hope he would be diagnosed so that he will know his condition.

          Can mood swings be diagnosed? lovie456

        Being a bipolar myself, I would understand my partner because we are dealing with the same problem! So, I will suggest to him that we seek the same therapist and will attend the same therapy group that we we can continually inspire each other. But I recommend transparency all throughout the relationship like someone here hinted.

          yep, accept him as he is. Anyway, it's not every day that he's in the sour mood! Enjoy the days that he's in a better mood and make the most it.
