As Bipolar people we do see things differently at times. We need partners who are accepting of that fact and willing to make adjustments in their behavior, or at the very least be willing to have an open dialogue about it. Sometimes my husband will say something to me that will hurt or offend me and I have to ask how he meant that, and he explains that I am being oversensitive, or if I am overtired and cranky he will be aware of that also, and not make too many demands on me.
So it takes a special person to be in a relationship with us. I would have an open discussion about this, and make sure your love is willing to support you with your bipolar, or if it is too much for them.
