First of all, it's generally better to say "I'm dating someone who has bipolar disorder" then "I am dating a bipolar" or "I am dating a manic." The person more important than the disease. Like, you wouldn't say, "I'm dating a cancer" would you? Just to let you know.

But really, you've only been dating three months, and it isn't that great. Why are you still with him? He's not replying, not calling....

If you really like him and think you should stick it out, maybe you think you're in love or you see some sort of future, then yes these behaviors could be (but aren't necessarily) from his disorder. I'd ask him! It's a fairly young relationship and there's no way to tell if he is acting this way because of his disorder or because, well, he's not all that interested.

If he's in a depressive state, sleeping a lot is common as well as a lack of interest (generally in life) and that could be causing this behavior. You need to talk to him to find out.

Thank you for responding. I didn't think I addressed that I had said" I'm dating a bipolar". He did tell me that he has this illness. We talked over the weekend and I did mention to him that maybe I'm not the one for him. He said that I am the one for him because when he's not with me he is sad and when he's with me he is happy. I don't understand the distance thru out the week when we are not together. I thought maybe doing more things with him, like a comedy show, concert, maybe go out dancing. He has never experienced any of this. He has one friend that he hangs out with alot and I beleive that's his only real friend that he has in his life. I usually live a private life when i date men unless im serious about someone. For the first time in a long time I actually to like to this guy and started bringing him around my friends for dinner get togethers with their significant others. He seems to have fun when we do things like that. I really would like to show him that there is more to life then moping around the house waiting for death as what "he says".

That's fine, I just thought I'd point it out because some people aren't aware of the language issues.

But here's what you need to ask yourself- if he the right one for you?

I mean, just because you aren't his boyfriend doesn't mean you can't be his friend and still support him, you know?

Just food for thought. Of course you are the only one that can determine if your relationship is worth it.

I was going to add-

YOU can't fix him. You can't treat him. The most you can do is make sure he is getting good professional care. It sounds at the moment like he isn't. Even the best relationship in the world with the most loving, caring woman wouldn't bring him out of his depression right now, he needs medication. And if he's on medication, he needs to get it adjusted.

He does get help and take meds daily. He just recently spoke to his therapist and asked to have his meds adjusted-lower dose. He says that this would give him more energy and not be so tired all the time. I plan on seeing him on Friday and i guess i will tell if his attitudeis different. I have thought him being the one for me time after time. He lives a calm life don't have much action going on and i know that I need to slow down in life and settle down with someone. I would like to think that he is the one for me. I guess time will only tell.
