i recently stopped dating a wonderful girl because of her bi-polar
tendencies....i'm only 27, but she called me shallow and insensitive for
leaving her because of her bi-polar...has anyone else had any type of
relationships like this? male or female?

no, but I am a nurse and I understand
i do not think that makes you shallow.
if you cannot give the person what they need it
is unhealthy for both of you.

my daughter has been diagnosed bi polar...I understand....

Aww don't feel so bad I left my husband and I swear to God he was
retarded!!!!







To be serious ..... I have no thoughts ....... on the
matter at this time I am just being an A@@

I have a cousin who has been diagnosed as bi polar. If she takes her
medicine, she's fine. But no, your decision doesn't mean that you are
shallow.

My ex-husband is bi-polar and he never took his meds, so I found him to
be too stressful to live with. I had to take care of our two girls. So
I completely understand how you feel, it does not make you shallow.


My older daughter also has bi-polar disorder and when she takes her
meds, she is great. If she runs out we tend to have problemsso we make
sure of her meds.

Take care.

I have inherited bipolar disorder from my father, and I can see where
you are coming from. If you aren't prepared to handle, or just plain do
not want to handle it, its what is best for both of you for you to
leave.

Sounds like you had a conflict in your relationship that both of you
could not come to terms with, whether it was a mental, physical,
personal problem. I don't think it is fair for her to blame you, that
there is something wrong with you because you couldn't handle it. That's
your limit. You know that. That's good that you know your limit and get
out before either of you suffer any more. Just because it is a problem
she may not have control over doesn't mean you have to accept it and
live with it.

You need to get some bipolar education from the NAMI organization, and
then think about it.

My ex is bipolar. Don't take what she said to heart bro, she's going
through a rough patch, and their isn't much you can do. She may get over
the breakup, but it isn't like she had cancer and you were like PEACE!

Bipolar is definitely a relationship challenge, and if you can't deal
with the mood thing, it isn't fair for you to "have to".

You did the right thing, because resentment and frustration can end a
relationship far more violently than honesty.
