Relationship w/a man who has Post Traumatic Stress & Bi-polar & Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Question

He rages at times when he claims I push his buttons. Any feedback someone can give me. He went off his meds several months ago because of side effects. He tries to eat healthy & takes vitimins but sometimes I feel like I can't handle the relationship. I got involved w/him while he was on his meds. He has changed since he has gone off them. It seems like we are always compromising things. We do not agree on a lot like we used too . It is different. How can I cope. I need some feedback if someone can give me some advice. Thanks.

Answer 1

Well, it all depends on whether you love him or not. If you do, then I would suggest talking to a psychologist, and just try to figure out a way to deal with him. But if you don't love him, then I would say just move on!

Answer 2

a simple ans er would be to dump him, maybe you could accompany him on his next visit to his mental health provider.

Answer 3

I have bipolar.  If you seriously enjoyed him and wanted a relationship while he was on meds, then decide if what you have now is something you can live the rest of your life with.  If not, then be honest and tell him to either commit to finding meds that work and staying on them or the relationship is over.  If that's where you are going, the longer you stay, the tougher it will be to let go for both of you.

What you see now is probably the way your relationship will remain if he is unmedicated.  When he has real swings, it will be worse.  It's up to you to decide what you want for your own life.

Answer 4

HE has the problem.  At least you didn't marry him.  Get out now, it will only get worse.
