Q: I Did Break Up With My Bipolar Boyfriend

I have not seen nor spoken with my now ex- boyfriend

he has not stalked me, sent me a bill for using his electricity when I was at his house with him, or gas money or when he drove to me stores, or to school bill, he has not called, or presented me with any papers that I have to go court,
( these were things that he said he would do, if I left him)

well he never said the word stalked, he did say, that he would follow me anywhere and make my life a living _ _ _ _

yet that was the negative side, the dark side of him

prior, when were dating and all, of course it was beautiful
and most romantic and loving, and passionate, and so hot
and everything I dreamed of ....

Well I woke up to reallize that he has a dark moody side
that his moods have changed, as he became more unpredicatable

i don't know, I feel like he started drug use, I have no evidence of it,
but he was so moody in just amount of hours,
loving one moment, then he wakes up from a nap, and all heck breaks loose and I am thinking, I have placed myself in a very unsafe situation

even though hours prior, it was passionate, very intimate and loving...

Ugh.

My valentines day was so lonely. I just curled up in my bed after my real life obligations were met, so sad, so lonely

i want to meet someone with that has the positive aspects of my ex boyfriend

i don't want to be alone. I am independent, I do have self esteem
i am overweight now, but my goal is to be thin by august. ( want to lose at least 60 pounds)

i am just sad, I think I will be ok, in terms of no more drama from my x.

Never been in this type of relationship prior, never to intend to be in one like it ever again.

Thank you all for reading, and responding, I know this was long
i guess I am so lonely and sad :cry:

Hi
Probably he's dead. Seriously, I think he hates you so much, that he doesn't want to hear of you no more.

I can't blame him, nor you. I don't know what are you crying for, you didn't want him, you dumped him. So, what's next?. Maybe you have done the best for him... Probably (of course, if he's still alive), he will find someone less selfish and comprehensive.

I hope you can realize that you will find someone very special but please, don't run away if you see that the relationship is more complex than you expected. Did this guy deserve you? I mean, was he special? Did he worthed extra relationship job? Think about it.

Regards caren!!

Pd. Sorry if I was rough, i'm not like this... When I smoke =)

He's Not Dead
I don't know that person that post the last reply, but i'll apologize for them. Your ex has the same disorder my current boyfriend has. At one time when we were just friends we stopped talking for 2 months. Its not that he's not thinking of you over the break it's just that he's thinking of a million other things also. Be patient, let him know that you're there for him, and if you do get another chance be more understanding of his disorder. In the mean time get in the gym, go on with your life. He certainly doesnt need someone who's also depressed.

Bipolar fiance
I understand all that you wrote and more. My heart is breaking. I knew my fiance for four years. I have tried so hard to be understanding. I have put myself on the back burner. However, he drinks excessfully... It makes matters worse. Those romantic days and loving ways are no more. I may see that romantic side/calmn side maybe once a month. And it last only a few hours if I am lucky. He has a lot of emotional and mental issues as well.
I have learned that one can not save anyone unless they save themselves. I find myself sinking further and further into his dispair. Sure it is a condition he will live for for the rest of his life. And I am sure it is very scary for him. However, he does not manage his situation the way he is being taught, he takes no percautions to prevent the mania he could experience if he does not take precaution, and he continues to drink whisky even though he knows it makes him a mad man.
I have decided to save myself. One may think that is selfish, but I think what he continues to do and then tell me that it is my fault I made this happen is selfish on his part, and I refuse to live the hell any longer. Maybe it is cruel, maybe it is not. But I did not give up on him, he gave up on his self when he chooses to drink and not take his medication, and continue down the same destructive road..... Sometimes love just is not enough - SORRY
