Hi Deanna I haven't had a serious relationship since I was diagnosed, but prior to being diagnosed the BP was definitely a factor for issues in the relationship. Now that I am managing the bipolar well I'm hoping that a long lasting relationship will be possible. I also look at it from the perspective that every relationship has issues. The BP may cause different issues, but I don't think it ruins a relationship.
