Hi. I'm in a little different situation, but I can definitely relate. I've been married for some years now, but it has been a roller coaster ride, much like my moods. Being in a relationship is hard for me, let alone being married. I realize I am not easy to be with, and it almost ended my marriage at one point when my BP was out of control. However, I'm much more stable now and feel I can deal with issues a lot better than I used to. I'm also very lucky because my wife is very patient and she saw how broken I was when things got bad. She stuck by me and said she always knew that I had issues, but that it was worth dealing with the bad because she also liked the good things about me. So, I am lucky, but I know from first hand experience that there are people out there who can love someone with BP and be sensitive to the things we face in our lives. Don't let it get you down. It took me awhile to find someone, but I eventually did.
