My partner has Bipolar and had it for a while before meeting me. I find it quite hard to deal emotionally with my partners past. Now, it’s nothing really to do with me and I guess it’s because I care so much, but I really am upset about how she lived and how people treated her then.
She was quite promiscuous and took drugs. She tried things I never dreamt she would be capable of and it hurts. I know it wasn’t her and I know she didn’t know her limits maybe but from time to time when I think about it I can’t get past it to see her.
Sometimes I wish her quality of transparency and honesty wasn’t so wholehearted.
They do say what you don’t know won’t hurt. Does this affect anyone else’s relationship?
