I’ve started dating a guy who is actually pretty great -so great to the point where we have discussed marriage. Although we’ve had our disagreements, our similarities and care for one another always brings us to a resolution and happy ending. This afternoon he told me that he was bipolar. He’s a personable jolly giant lol. He’s the happy, romantic of the relationship. The only time I have seen him any differently was when we get in arguments and he yells and becomes kind of aggressive (not physical), refusing to listen and often taking the “my way or no way” mentality, often threatening to end “us”. But then the next day, he’ll be extremely apologetic. So I could see how he might be bipolar. Not knowing that much about it besides what I’ve seen and heard on TV, I started asking him questions about it. He became frustrated and pretty much shut down after awhile. I figured it’d be best to maybe seek advice from others about the disorder and how to deal/manage in loved ones.
Any advice? Suggestions? Anything?
Thanks –
