Well, I have been in a realationship for about a year now. And it has been one hell of a year. I moved to Texas and away from all of my family. My boyfriend has bi-polar and its hard for us to even communicate. If i say one thing he gets pissed off. I try and help him understand things in an adult perspective but he just starts cussing and yelling at me. He constantly asks people who he does not know(random people from the street) about us. The only time he is happy is when we are having sex. He demands sex everyday when i get home from work (did I mention he does not work)and I have explained that is does not happen that way....then he has the guts to tell me that he his going to find someone on the side that will do that. He has put me and my family down many times. It seems like I am worthless and not doing anything for him to be satisfied. So what should I do? I love this man. But I am getting really tired. Help!

It sounds like he is manic. Hypersexuality, irritability, reckless behavior, anger & aggressiveness are all characteristics of mania. Is he on medication? He should be. If he is on medication, is he actually taking it? It doesn't sound like it. What you really need to know is that many bipolars like being manic-they feel invincible, clearheaded & have lots of energy, so they don't take their medication as prescribed when they are in this stage. Mania is also the most dangerous stage of the disorder because of the feelings of invincibility and the accompanying reckless and impulsive behavior. He needs help, right now. If he refuses to get help that leaves you with two choices: 1. Stay, put up with the behavior, and continue to encourage him to get help or 2. Wish him the best and walk away. Good Luck.

Cant really answer this for you, but it Does seem all he wants from you is sex. I would suggest reading all you can on bi polar disorder. But, I do know this much, sex isn't a cure or treatment for it. It also seems to me, a non professional, that he is abusive too.
My overall advice.... Leave, and don't look back. Love is a strong emotion, but if he is so unstable, you may also be in danger from him too.

Always keep this in mind, Bi-polar disorder is not about you. They are not mad at you, they are sick. I know how hard it is to love someone with this disease, but in my case it is my mother and would be a much harder break to make. He needs to get counseling and medication. Without at least trying to improve himself, it does not go away. It does not get better and neither will your life.
Talk to him about seeing someone.
Remember his anger is not about you.
Get out if he refuses to help himself.

take comfort or not from the fact that 11% or people who are bi-polar will commit suicide.
Thats the same percentage of hitting three of a kind on the flop whilst holding a pocket pair in texas holdem poker.
