I think that i'm in the same situation like you, my bf has bipolar disorder, today he told me that he doesn't know what to do toward me, he told me that he has to come to meet my father for engagement, I told him as u like... He's still studying and I know that we should wait until he finish his studies and so on, but he told me so. After word he told me the opposite thing which is he can no longer be with me coz he's feeling that he's abusing me and hurting me ( how? I don't know) anyway I wasn't shocked because i'm used to hear so from him when he's depressed, and when he's in his stable mood, he doesn't remember that he told me anything about breaking up. Anyway this time, i'm shocked from another thing, he told me that he cheated on me from a long time in the beginning of our relationship :( I don't know what to do seriously, i'm in love with him, I overcomed many things since the beginning, he hurts me a lot when in depression... I wanna continue with him, he told me that he'll never cheat on me again. ( I think he was in mania when he did it, and he's telling it to me now coz he's in depression right now, and wants ofcourse to feel guilty).
I'm totally confused really.
Can someone explain to me how and why the bipolar person cheats on the one he's loving?
Thanks
