It sounds like you yearn to be accepted by him in a relationship for you who are without losing the professional connection for a job. Good luck making up a story, if its meant to be its meant to be.

I think 2 marriages and hookups are well within the statistical average. I would not dx anyone by just having had two marriages and hookups, else close to half the population would have carried a dx of some sort. He has had a very stable professional trajectory that has led him to where he is now, having a chair, publishing books, lecturing, etc. etc., which is a tad too stable for bipolar/bpd. I am not saying that all bipolar/bpd people are unsuccessful - obviously, not, but the linearity of his professional trajectory just does not speak bipolar to me and much less so BPD. An interesting thought, though.
