Thank you both for your insight. I appreciate your time and responses. FeelingHopeful, I would like to say its not a matter of what others thinking he should be anything. If he is doing the same thing as me, I would have to say that he knows exatly what hiso doing, and no one has influanced this decision other than himself. If his doing it for the reasons I think his doing it for, than he doesnt want to hurt you, neither does he want you to end up hating him if the both of you brake up.
I, myself have had alot of women all say the same thing, that they could deal with, and handle me being bipolar. That they would never leave me. If I had a dollar for every time ive heard that, I wouldnt be rich, but id have a few bucks, lol. Nevertheless, here I am single and alone. Its easy to say you can handle it, its alot harder actually doing it. Not saying you couldnt do it, there are quite a few relationships out there that have worked with one of the individuals being bipolar. You could have such a relationship yourself. Only time would tell, if you really mean what you say with loving him and wanting to be with him. Dont give up, dont ever stop wanting that, yet, just be his friend. Be there for him when he needs someone. Even if he doesnt ask you to be there. It may show him you are serious over time.
