Altnernatively, could you cope with the guilt of doing those things with him knowing they were contributing to a manic episode and the damage that frequently entails?

I understand what you're getting at spiritual_emergency but apparently Igave you the wrong impression. We didn't go to bars and I don't drink or use pot so no that wouldn't be an issue. He's been smoking pot for over a decade. He wasn't really into the gambling aspect of the casino that was more me. He didn't even have anything to drink that night..so the first sexual impulses weren't alcohol/pot induced. Mus've been just the hypomania starting like you said before.
If he did have issues with doing something like going to the casino.I'd have no problem going without him. If he had more money on him when we went I guess I could see how that could potentially be a problem..then again he seems to be tight on money just to spend it on pot.
I enjoyed the fact that he could be spontaneous and willing to do whatever; whenever. It didn't have to be the casino or out all night..So I would still want to be with him if it could've been something else random. I don't want to be with the type of guy who needs to plan things days in advance unless something like work got in the way.
Thanks for the help. You (and the other posters) did help me make more sense out of this whole situation and how it played out and I understand it better. I have no interest in calling him anytime soon but if he happened to call or I did run into him again then I would still give the friendship thing a chance and take it from there.
