I agree yet disagree with knowthyself... while I don't have all the details either, and while it's true that falling out of love can happen to BP's as well as non-BP's, I can give you a perspective from personal experience.   My BP ex loved me more than life itself... when he was becoming worse and worse as the years went on, I saw strange behavior.  I didn't know he was BP at first, and I saw this "love-hate" attitude a lot.  Towards the end, he would love me so much one day and hate me the next, taking his racing thoughts and illusions out on me.  Then it turned to him hating me and blaming me all the time, and then nothing.  It became emotionless.  He couldn't care or show anything at all.    I've also heard many stories of BP's sleeping or cheating with others while manic.  Some don't even remember what they do while manic.  Now, I'm not exactly sure what your partner is going through, but I can tell you I have been through the love-hate thing, as well as the emotional void the other person can become.  It's a horrible roller coaster to ride, especially when you love that person.  I guess at the end of the day though, BP or not, you have to respect what the other person wants and try to move on.  Or, stop the roller coaster yourself and move on to someone who will love you like you deserve.  I did...
