Hi, (Im not actually Peanutt2b, I was his partner for many years). Living wih someone with BP is extremely hard. I loved my bf sooooo much I would have gone through anything and eveything for him. I have three children(two with their own mental health issues). I felt suffocated. He always wanted to control me. He was paranoid of me going on the computer and having a telephone. He constantly accused me of things, sometimes I had no idea what he was actually accusing me of. He didnt for one minute acknowledge that I was innocent and that the paranoia came from his bp. It ruined our relationship. He was so difficult to live with. His sleeping patterns ment that no one in the house could get any sleep. He spent large amounts of money on projects that he set up but never followed through, but because he hadnt spent his own money he coldnt even see that his spending was out of control. I never knew what mood he would be in on any particular day so we were never able to plan anything. our whole lives together seemed to revolve around his BP. There was never time for me and my children. When you love someone with BP you always make allowances, you can never rest. I love him so much but the relationship was impossible for me and the boys. For anyone out there who is Bipolar and has a loving life partner, PLEASE understand, they go through so much on a daily basis, and if they are still with you through all the trauma, all the drama, all the paranoia, the Manics and everything else, then they are there because they truelly love you. Dont doubt for a second that you are loved. No one goes through all that for no reason.
