M
y Girlfriend has Bi-polar Disorder. I never know which girlfriend is going to come home. Naturally I'm tentative when I first greet her and until I get it figured out. This makes her angry because she tells me that I'm "holding myself back", and "walking on eggshells".
Doesn't everybody walk lightly when they are in a minefield?

| Posted Aug 17th, 2008 at 2:51PM Hang in there ok ...I do understand all to well. Hugs |
 | Posted Aug 17th, 2008 at 9:50PM If you feel that way why not leave? |
| Posted Aug 19th, 2008 at 1:41PM Because I DO love her, and to walk away because she has a mood disorder would be no different than dumping somebody because they have cancer. It would be a rotten thing to do. |
 | Posted Nov 15th, 2008 at 12:05PM You are doing the only thing you can do in your situation. Good luck. : ) |
 Feeling good | Posted Nov 15th, 2008 at 12:10PM Is she utilizing a doctor recommended treatment? All you can do is support her, but it would be wrong to stay out of obligation.......love her and make sure always that you take care of yourself too. |
 | Posted Nov 15th, 2008 at 12:14PM Actually it isn't the same as leaving someone with cancer, on some level it would be less than kind but staying isn't always the right thing to do for either of you. Is she taking meds for it, if not she should or she isn't doing her part to help the situation. That said, don't walk on eggshells, being overly nice and altering yourself to make way for her mood swings is not good for either of you. |
