 Thats true, it got to the point where I was so used to the behavioral pattern... I couldn't enjoy the good times anymore because I knew what was coming next, like clock work. During the awful times, I would just be a wreck because anything was possible.

 Now when there are good times, like wednesday was perfect, I know he is going to go home and feel quilty about having a perfect great time. He thinks it is mania every time he is happy, can not take it as life... so he will say something bad happens after a wonderful time. When there are bad times now I know he is going to want me and wish for me. I think this illness does not let them enjoy the highs sometimes without them getting scared that it is illness. I know that I can not take the I never love you times, the we can not talk times, the that was never real times again. it is just too hard being in love with someone who does this... now the great times get me nervous because i know they are going to end. and it is all real the good , the bad the ugly....

 Oh My God! That is sooooo normal. That is eaxctly what I have experienced with my bipolar bf. He is madly in love with me one minute, then he drops me for no reason, and tells me he never meant anything that he said. Then.....when he "comes to his senses" he admits how crazy he acted and showers me with love and compliments.

 Forresta,

HOw long have you been going out, and how many ups and downs.

The other day he shouted with joy to me "I love you", and I did not respond. It is funny I fear the good times more now, because I know they will end and the bad times less because I know they will end, I finally know it is not be he stops loving but himself, and feels the love is illness, not love, and he does not feel he deserves love... well maybe that is it, who knows, .............it is a roller coaster.

 sunk, I am finding I like the bad times more because I know the only way is up, and the highs less cause I know they will end.

 We have been dating/living together for three years or more. I understand what you are saying.When the times are good they are also ruined by my thoughts of how qickly I know they will end. The bad times are almost like something I don't count as being "fiction" because I know they will end abrubtly too. Pretty crazy, eh?

 foressta, you know what is even crazier. I know when he says he does not love me and wants to break up, I know if I disappeared he would be crushed.

 Sounds like we are in a very similar situation, my friend. Good to know that someone else understands the crazy situation I deal with. He has thrown me out three times. I had to quit my job each time and move to crazy places to survive. Once he packed a backpack and took off on foot and left his cell phone because he thought he could be "tracked" by it. I heard from him two days later, and he called me crying and begging forgiveness. It has been a nightmare. Sometimes he goes for months at a time being normal and very loving, then he turns into the coldest human ever.

 He probably does really love you. I think bipolar people hate the people who care about them the most when they are going through an episode. But we can't let them ruin our lives no matter how much we care.

 Don't know about your bf but mine has an addiction to beer & porn as well as being bipolar. It's been very hard to deal with. When he's on a bipolar "upswing" those things don't matter to him, but when he gets down that's all he cares about.
