Hi,

I was wondering if someone with BP or a BP supporter maybe can help with my
question? My boyfriend of two years has BP.I have researched so much on BP and have been a supporer to him for quite a while.My question is he is usually calm natured.What I have seen is usually I am the strong try to keep to all together person, but a few times in our relationship it seems that if I have a really bad day
for example my grandfather dieing, or a above normal bad day (not with him) just in life.We will be fine and I swear that day when I really could use a shoulder he has
some kind of episode where he tries to push me away. Again in over two years it has probabably happened 5 times.For example I had a really bad day he was ok in general conversation then as he went to sleep asked if I got a certain document in the mail
because I check the mail pay the bills.I said no then said I was lieing started to raise his voice (rarely happens). Out of the blue he says I want to check the mail (which he has never done) I want to start paying the bills.These where all request of his two years ago.I was just trying to give an example.Why on my worst day he wants to give me more drama then a shoulder? Any Ideas?? Thanks!

I have heard that bipolar people are very scared of loosing control. In your example it seems he may want to take control (of email, bill paying) if it seems you are not the strong one any more. Just a theory.

I have been married to a bipolar for 35 years and it has not been good at all. I would advise you to consider if you really want to spend you life in its shadow. It does not get easier and it will never be cured.
