My boyfriend (who has bipolar) and I broke up a couple of weeks ago. I'm still processing what happened. I didn't learn he was bipolar til near the end and I didn't learn enough about it until now to be able to know what was really going on but I have question that has been nagging me.

Near the end I think he was starting to become "hypo or manic" but I'd only been with him for 7 months and don't know all this stuff.

He'd gotten a new car a couple of months ago...he was a bit OCD about the car but really happy when he got it. My ex boyfriend is 45, not 17

He seemed kind of embarassed it wasn't exactly the "top of the line" model (or a 4X4) even though the car was brand new. That particular model of Jeep doesn't even COME in a 4X4.

He bought a sticker, and put it on the car so that it looks to the casual observer to be a 4x4!

I thought it was sooo weird! But we were already having problems so I didn't give him a hard time about it. But it keeps popping into my head as such a strange thing to do.

Is this something that might have been a signal? A little delusional thinking or hypo or just...weird and his personality?
