Confused....

About 2 and a half years ago i started dating/dealing with a woman....this woman is and was incredible, her mind is so deep and her heart is big as any ive ever seen.... but let me step back to catch you all up..

I first met her through a mutual friend and we began to talk which led to us meeting having sex and such, at this point we werent dealing with each other in a real relationship per se' so we really hit off...as time passes we became closer and we began dating, everything was perfect until one day i remember taking a nap and waking up and she wasnt there, i had this bad feeling for some reason so i sat by my window and waited for her to come back, after maybe 3 hours she came back and i guess i could tell things were crazy but i couldnt put my finger on what was wrong....when she came in the house it was on her face, something was wrong so i asked her, she explained that she was bored and she went to see an old friend and things just happened....she said she felt bad and i did believe her....i never understood the connection between bi-polar and hypersexuality, i suppose maybe i was such a what about me person that it was hard to digest...i love her with everything that i am but i just dont understand how to survive the roller coaster, sometimes its so beautiful between us and others she's snapping and angry but for no reason, then there is this flirtatious side where she feels its okay to be online and sexual flirt with guys but she gets upset that im against it....so im confused, am i supposed to just sit back and let it go? And how the heck can i be more supportive because i feel at times i just dont know what im dealing with...

thanx..

Hi, truekarma! Having an illness is not an excuse to mistreat any body and I'm glad you realize that. Is she getting professional help? Maybe you could go to therapy with her some time so you can really explain what you need and what this is doing to you. Maybe things will get better if she starts to feel better as far as the bipolar disorder is concerned.

well she's on meds but right now she's been having an issue reaching her doctor so she's roughly on 3 weeks un medicated, i know she's got alot to go through and it angers her so much when i say i want to be there for her, she tries 2 explain how she'd rather be alone so she doesnt hurt anyone.....i cant abandon someone i love.....

Remind her that helping her is good for you and that it makes you feel better. You know, she's lucky to have someone who cares about her this much.
