If they are on their meds and stabilized (this is the big issue), then hopefully they will be stable enough to be true with their feelings. A lot depends on how bad their bipolar is because some can be stabilized easily and some can't. Take caution.

I'm bipolar and NOT stabilized on meds, and my husband has no doubts that I love him. We do stuff together, like tonight we had a nice campfire by our pond and toasted hotdogs and listened to the frogs chirping away. We go fishing and hunting together, play cards, garden and can produce, and hold hands when we watch movies. We have a terrific sex life. We have long conversations every day. It's crappy that I throw stuff at him once a month or so when I have PMS on top of bipolar and I finally lose it, but I apologize afterwards and I have him go to the counselor with me much of the time to work out how to deal and he knows I am looking for a good med combination and that I will take his word for it that a med is helping. Bipolar overlies a base personality, in my case, I am mostly mild-mannered and I'm pretty smart, so even tho the meds haven't helped much, I'm still a pretty good companion (or so HE says!!) because I pay attention to my behavior.

If you have any questions whether someone loves you, bipolar or not, then you need to look at your own insecurities.
If that is not the problem, and you find the other person's behavior the problem, then sit down and talk to them about it.
And I don't think that any one ever truly "knows" that another human being loves them or not. It's faith.
Give the other person more compassion, too...It's hard being bipolar...it's kind of condescending of you to treat them as if they were that different from you.

Honestly I find this question a little silly. People with bipolar are still human beings, with feelings and personalities. They are still as capable of expressing their feeling and individuality as anyone else.
My partner has bipolar. How do I know he loves me? He tells me everyday. He will do anything for me, no questions asked. He is tender, caring and compassionate. He is always there for me.
So how can you REALLY tell if a person with bipolar loves you? By their actions towards you, just the same as you would with anyone else.

Not everyone with bipolar requires medication. Some do, others do not. Many people with bipolar who are NOT on medication can live normal lives. They dont have to be on meds to express themselves and act normally!!!!!
I have known many people with bipolar.

It's difficult for you or them to know this they will continue to leave you over and over again and then if they are on medication to get them stabilized you will never know. That mental illness is not the same with every person, nor medications. Some work some don't. Some people are not able to take the medications. So they can keep going to therapy and stay away from caffeine. Their moods should get better no Drugs of any sort. You go with them to the therapist you can ask questions and get answers. This is not going to be easy and you need to know as much as possible about this person before you devote your love to them. They have to be serious about the treatment and having some what of a normal life. there are some things they will have no control over. You will have to learn how to deal with it. Good Luck

My Lady (*points up to Bad Influence*) tells me she does.
Also, we work on the relationship. I am no sweet smelling rose myself and she has a challenge on her hands. We both have to work at it.
That she has not dumped me is a good indication though she has told me to go f*ck myself a few times.
Being in a relationship with somone with Bipolar is a challenge. The best thing to do is learn about the Bipolar disorder yourself and learn your Mate's cycles and the particulars of his or her disorder.
People with bipolar are people, not a disorder. They HAVE a disorder.

If the person loves you, then you would know whether they have bipolar disorder or not. My sister and my brother are bipolar and it hasn't effected their love life in the slightest.

How do you know if someone that is NOT bipolar loves you
2007-04-18 01:01:28 · answer #8 · answered by Bixbyte 4 · 7⤊ 0⤋
how do you know when anyone loves you or not...?
those with bipolar love and are loved just like anyone and they let you know just like anyone else...
you are probably referring to the mood swings, I love you/I hate you type deal, right?
under proper medication and care, mood stabilization should be reached or at minimum,symptoms reduced...
so, I suppose you can go by percentages...majority should be making you feel loved if not, discuss with your love...good luck!

When they are on the right medication,and taking it faithfully,and they are no longer swinging from a chandelier smacking your emotions from Ecstasy to H***.Everything will become more clear,and if you love this person,its worth sticking it out,if indeed they will seek treatment and stick to it.
