Gaeta Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 His success and his positive energy that continues to pull me in. This new guy is so happy. Jokes all the time That's it? You are overlooking dysfunctions over dysfunctions because he sends a good vibe? He doesn't take any meds for his bi-polar condition. That is how they are, they are super positive for a while then they have a down that resemble a trip down to hell. There are tons of men out there giving good positive vibes that have their act together and their head screwed in properly. 2
MidwestUSA Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I thought you walked away from this guy a couple of weeks ago? He's still a drug addict, but doesn't want to take his bipolar meds. Is he still sleeping over at the ex wife's 'because of the boy'?
sillybint Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 A Bi-Polar intimacy-phobic divorcee with a child. Sounds like a great catch :| Run. Run like the WIND. 1
Author Thewayitwas2 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Posted June 22, 2014 I did walk away and then I got roped back in. It is totally my fault of course. And this has been a very good relationship in many ways. After I told him that his sleeping at his ex house bothered me, he stopped. When I told him that I don't associate w drug users .... He vowed to give it all up... Including alcohol. He is always in the gym and he's very healthy otherwise. But I understand that this may just be a high and it may not last. He is bi polar after all. The only weird thing when things are in this very good mode is his lack of interest in doing anything more than kissing me.
GemmaUK Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Sex is possibly one of his triggers for the downside of his Bi Polar. I dunno. It's all very fishy to me. There's way too many red flags for me to have stuck around.
spiderowl Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Just to add to this discussion, the medications for bi-polar, depression and other conditions can cause unpleasant side-effects and make people feel dreadful. A friend of mind put on tons of weight and his legs became so bloated, the skin split and he got infections. His was an extreme case, but do not assume people are just being awkward when they abandon their meds. Some can cause serious side effects. This is why they need to be monitored. Blaming someone for not taking meds that make them physically ill is unfair. I know it's awful if bi-polar symptoms re-appear. It's awful for all involved that the drugs have side-effects. It's hard to blame someone if they feel life is better for them without the drugs. 1
