Hi Berly....
It may not necessarily be a bipolar thing....I think that any break up is hard to handle...And letting go, especially after you have invested years, is hard to do in general...And yes that includes not being able to let go of someone even though you know, or feel, that they are not right for you...I think the one characteristic about your situation that comes from bipolar, is the fact that you purposefully want to be with someone even though they are no good...Maybe because you feel you can't get better than what you already have? Clinte articulated what it is that I am trying to say...The attachment issue/obssession may be caused by bipolar....That aspect of your relationship, from what you described, sounds like someone who is bipolar or something along those lines...I have had similar issues with being obssessive...Clingy...etc...It can be a lot to deal with....Being bipolar period makes any relationship hard and makes you do and say things that you normally would not do....
