Im an alcoholic/addict myself and think it is the personality of addiction. My ex I was and still am addicted to, It made the relationship very difficult cause I wanted her with me all the time so it lead for a very toxic relationship for her as I was either drunk or high and abusive all the time, yes I was a bad person at one point sorry guys/gals. But I figure telling my story may help you. Like I said I was addicted to her and that made me go crazy if she hung out with anyone else. I went manic on her once which wasnt pretty which ended the relationship it was the last straw. So yes I do believe being bp does make it more difficult to have a stable relationship and I believe the being an addict part just leads us for a more addicting personality like missbelle said and we become codependent on the person which makes things even worse. I still try to call her and its been 8 months even though I was the one that ruined it. Well thats my speel. And Missbelle that cat picture is awesome.
