It is NOT too much to ask for him to be there for you. It is something you have a right to demand from a partner. Just because he has BP doesn't excuse him of being the other half of this relationship, it certainly doesn't mean it is always all about him just because he has an illness!
I hear that you love him and want to give him time to change, give the meds and his therapy a chance to work and that isn't a bad idea in my opinion. But you need to draw a line somewhere. You need to have him know where you stand, how much you will take and how long you are willing to give him to turn things around.
But most important, try to get involved in people and things outside of the relationship. Form or maintain friendships and have hobbies or a volunteer job. DO NOT get isolated in the relationship. Because if all you have is him and you are dependent on him for everything, it will be extremely hard to leave him if that is what you eventually decide to do. You don't want to become trapped.
Hopefully, the meds and therapy will help. I am rooting for you and always on your side, no matter what you decide to do.
Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing. And please Private Message me anytime you want.
Take care
