A LOT of people will tell to steer clear of a relationship with someone with bipolar disorder. I won't tell you that, but I will tell you it's hard as hell, most especially when they don't want treatment. Even when they do take treatment, it's very demanding of you, and it's easy to lose yourself in the process of supporting them in all that they're going through. It does sound like you do need to decide whether you really want to go through with this--you do need to be sure, it's a huge commitment of your time, energy, and emotional well-being.
Have you discussed any other form of treatment with him besides meds?
You might benefit from stopping by the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance site, check out their section on helping a loved one, you may find things there that benefit both of you. Life Love and Bipolar has some good info on being in a relationship with someone who's bipolar, check that out as well.
Good luck, it's a hard path.
