Have you ever dated or had a relationship with someone who has either Bipolar or any mental illness?

(This is is NO WAY insulting anyone with these)

I asked, because I have had dated a woman that suffered from Bipolar. She had informed me before we dated. And I had no problem. A few weeks later, we blossomed into a full-blown relationship. We shared an apartment and we spent alot of time together. But she would have these "unscheduled" episodes where she would have these outbursts. Not just with me, but with her friends. But U tried very hard to accept her for who she was.

Eventually, less than a year, we broke up. But I never told her it was due to her latest outburts, when she tried to kill me with a kitchen knife. Because, she didn't think I loved her enough. I broke up with her, because she was "too" attached to me. I didn't think that was love at all. Was I wrong for doing so?

Hello Noeleena,

I'm sorry about your friend Jos. That had to been hard. Forunately, my ex-girlfriend wasn't suicidal. But she was possessive. To the point, she wouldn't let me be...or let me go and hangout with my friends. Long story, but it was a lesson I had to learn, nonetheless.
