Is is common for someone that is bipolar to make stuff up all of the time? My ex keeps e-mailing me and he doesn't make any sense and his stories are not adding up at all! For example; first he told me that he is quitting his job for now and that his girlfriend that he has been with for 4 months is going to support him by her still working during that time. He also said that he is also going to marry her next month and get on her health insurance. (he has told me over and over that he never wants to get married) he said he was going to a doctor for his bipolar disorder at the mayo clinic. He said since he would be out of town and not working and that he couldn't pay me child support.

Ok, then he e-mails me a few hours later and said that they talked it over and he is not going to the mayo clinic at all and is staying in town here and will still be working and just go to a doctor here.

Then the next day he e-mails me again and tells me that he sorry for saying some of the things he has been saying to me (we were arguing about stuff) and that he has a lot going on right now with his girlfriend. He said that she has serious health issues and they are waiting to hear from her doctors. He made it sound like it wasn't good, and he did ask me a couple of weeks ago the name of the surgeon that operated on my dad when he had colon cancer. He wouldn't tell me why at the time.

Now, does this make any sense?? First she is going to be working to support him and then the next day he says her health isn't good?Also, I happen to know that he is still looking for women to date (i have proof), yet he told me he was getting married next month! He does stuff like this all of the time and did the whole 5 years we dated too. Things never add up. Is this common with bipolar or is it maybe something he has along with it? I have thought that he may possibly have borderline personality disorder, but he has never been diagnosed with it. It is just so strange.
