Well, I have 5 more days of freedom until my bipolar bf comes home from his job. He won't even communicate with me about exactly when he's coming home so I assuume it's going to be 5 days from now. The type of work he does has a schedule that can change very often, so he is just keeping me on pins & needles on purpose. Not sure if I should bolt, quit my job and not be here to deal with his bipolar wrath or what. I really don't want to quit my job, and if I leave I will have to.

I don't really know your particular situation, but I think if you were to quit your job and spend all day with someone who is bipolar, you might go insane. I spent every single moment with my ex boyfriend, and we got sick of each other quick, as bipolar individuals such as myself can be quite volatile. Bipolar wrath? Please don't quit your job... if he really needs all day watching, he should be admitted. Good luck.

Not thinking about quitting my job to take care of him. Considering quitting to take off and get out before he comes back. And yes, he should be admitted.

Hey forresta...been wondering how it's going. So, you still have no family or friends that can put yuu up for a month so you can get out now??

Nope I don't. I moved to a new city to be with the bf. It is very hard to make friends when you are in a crazy relationship situation, so that's what's up.

If you could get away, where would you go??

Well I have no decent place to go if I leave right now. So, I am trying to stick it out for another month to save enough money to really leave. I will go back to the city that I used to live in, and that I loved. I am excited and can't wait to get the hell out. This has been a nightmare.

I know this is a dumb suggestion, but can you use a credit card to get out now...if you have one?? Making a minimum monthly payment until you find work in the new city is better than sticking it out there.

Good idea and I would totally do it, but I have bad credit. The guy has thrown me out without notice before and I had to do just that while moving all over the US, sleeping on friend's couches. Ruined my credit & almost lost my car. I have been slowly rebuilding my credit, but it's not good enough yet to get a decent credit card. I have pretty much weighed all of my options, and I think hanging onto my job and saving as much as possible is really the only way.

Sorry that's not an option for you at this time. Pls let us know how it goes when he returns.
