WOW Ras! This is one of the best polls I've seen since I've been here!
As to the answer, I'm with the others who say that would be a hard call to make. I can see over both sides of this fence. So I would ultimately say it depends on what exactly the underlying reasons are in each matter.......

Wow.. What a compliment
Don't get use to it, I don't do serious very often.

I think women were afraid to take a risk with me...bipolar disease can scare people off....

Hi Ken I think it's not so much the women you've met were scared off ..as much as they probably have never dealt with someone who has bipolar.People can be easliy scared of something new to them.

I guess that is understandable, My Ex was bipolar and knew it but refused to take any kind of Meds. Claimed it was against her religion (Jehovah's witness).
I don't know if all bipolars are as bad as she was but there was just no living with her. and If the person is on their meds as needed, it makes a world of difference.
Have you tried a relationship without kids involved?? May be easier just one on one.
Wish you luck in finding an understanding and patient partner

Hi Anna...
I have played a part also in my failed relationships. But I think you are right that they never have dealt with the issue and were afraid to take a chance.

Thanks Ras...
Yes, I had a relationship where she had children already. But apparently she didn't want to move forward and bailed out.
I am on meds and have always managed the bipolar fairly well. I am sorry about your ex...
I have dated two bachelors. I did not know it at the time. I was 19 and was dating a 23 year old man. Our friendship has lasted over 30 years. The second I started dating when I was 28. I understand the effects of ADHG and Bipolar, and all the other issues. These were men worth loving, but never felt worthy of it.

I here you speak of your disability that you suffer from. I can understand you issue for i work with others in a Co-op (Fond du Lac Synergy Cooperative) here in Fond du Lac,WI. that suffer from different types of illness. I help develop this co-op to not just support them but give them work as well. As a work Co-op, this is the only Co-op of its kind in the United States. There is one in Canada but that's it in this continent. As for having a relationship with a co-worker, I have seen so many have to leave the job because it did not work out. I don't feel I should get involved with a co-worker for it can be painful after wards.
