» Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen - I think my ex-boyfriend is bipolar

What an experience - that must have been a huge shock, him breaking up with you out of the blue. He sounds a little unstable, even when you were dating he'd act inappropriately. How scary for him, too, to feel "broken". Maybe he doesn't think he can love you or be in a relationship. Too bad he didn't continue with the counseling.

I dated a guy who was easily irritated and unpredictable, and who also started but didn't continue counseling. Though I was sad when we called it off, I look back now and feel very very grateful that we didn't end up together. I think I wouldn't stayed with him if he hadn't questioned our relationship. We decided to take some time off.

I don't know if your ex is bipolar, southpawgirl. But he's definitely has a few things to deal with before he can be in a healthy relationship.

I hope you're okay, and that you take care of yourself.
