I'm not sure if this has anything to do with his bipolar disorder, but I'm sure it has contributed some factors to the situation.
My boyfriend and I love each other very much. We have major ups and downs according to his mood swings (I'm still learning about certain things that can trigger them). I've never been with someone like this before so, whereas I was not very thoughtful on my actions, I slip up and not necessarily think through of what I do could be perceived as - if that makes any sense. Things get misinterpreted and I have to try my hardest and damnedest to reassure him, give him space, and wait for him to calmly come back around. Every time it's like a very delicate strategy and it makes me fear the end of the relationship because of the intensity.
So, there's that little background. I'm not sure if this is another time where I need to execute my strategy or not. My boyfriend thinks I cheated on him when I did not. It was an assumed/misinterpreted situation and I've spent about an hour trying to convince him otherwise, but he won't budge.
I'm not sure where to go from here. I'd take any advice, especially from those who've been in a similar situation.
