It's Mandy, i was the one who wrote the little mini romance novel last night asking for advice. I talked to the ex today and broke down, i told him he's driving me to my breaking point and such. I also told him i joined a support group thing. I was afraid he'd check it, so i took my last one down. If tabby and eric don't get my replies, i just want to say thank you. Eric, your honesty though painful was much needed, i needed a male perspective and tabby, your story is heartwrenching, your sisters too. Though its a bit of a wake up call for me. For those who didn't read what i last wrote, and still wanted to be supporitive and give advice. Short synopsis, i went on a mission trip 2 yrs ago and met and fell in love with a man i'm convinced is bipolar. He was in a bad relationship with an abusive alcoholic at the time. He broke it off with her, and dated me for a long time. He was the perfect boyfriend, so so loving. He started taking weightloss pills, went a little nuts and dumped me right after professing his undying love for me. We had a life and future planned and it went kaput. Now its nearing two yrs later, and he wants me back. He never stopped trying to get me. Now that i want him back as well, he tells me he's leaving his other girlfriend (the abusive alcoholic) but he keeps delaying it more and more. and i'm at a loss of what to do to make him wake up from his bipolar mood swings..so any advice is appreciated!


Was he diganosed with bipolar? I am not sure as this sounds more like he knows he should leave the other one but can't and wants a normal relationship with you. It's hard to leave someone who is abusive when you love them but he can't keep using you as a crutch either knowing your going to be there for him every time he thinks he wants to break off from the other relationship. I am so sorry your going through this, as I know what it feels like when you love some one and want them so bad but you can't really have them and when you do have them you want it to be that loving open relationship and it's not. When you are on the inside looking out you don't see what others do who are on the outside looking in, because love is blind. We can't pick and chose who we fall in love with because it just happens.......something you can't help even though you know that person is not right for you, you stay......This question for myself has alied me for years.....
