I have been going out with my boyfriend for like 2 weeks now but have known him for over 6 months. This is our story. We got together when he was at the hospital so they could change his medication. He is currently on house arrest until November because his ex-girlfriend said he slapped her. He says he didn't but since my boyfriend has schizo-bipolar, Im not sure if he would even remember doing it. Anyways, his ex has started calling him repeatedly and saying she is pregnant with his baby. I advised him to do a restraining order against her so she can't call him but he hasn't. Everytime they talk, he gets upset and ends up calling me right after and I have to try to calm him down which normally works but Im scared that instead of calming him down, I am shutting him down. I think this because when he called me after his ex called him, he started telling me what all his ex said and I stopped him and told him to not tell me what she said and to stop replaying the conversation in his head. He then stopped talking completly except for single word sentences. If you can even consider one word being a sentence. I don't know if I am giving him the right advice and being supportive by not letting him tell me everything she told him. Can anyone help?
