So i said well you shouldnt characterise all people with Bi polar or mental illnesses... He said true but i wont go down that path again.. I said well then you prob want to stop talking to me.. Cause I have BPD also known has Borderline Personality disorder... I said we aren't all the same and Im trying extremely hard to change myself and overcome this disease.. We don't ask to have it..

This in my opinion is extremely healthy, pointing out facts to him, and haivng self respect at the same time.
There are alot of people (nons) that have been burned in relationships by people with mental illness, and can become bitter towards those with mental illness, and choose not to go down that path again. It's NOT you.. It's him, and his choice...
My advice is to stand strong and keep showing self respect, and don't get down on yourself..
