I was diagnosed with cancer 11 years ago and my fella dumped me the day after. I know it hurts! But... he shouldn't be with me because he felt sorry and if he didn't have it in him to support me then he made the right decision. If you do not have an understanding or supportive partner, then you're much better without them because I think they can do more harm than good.

And no.. I don't think every woman will be repelled by your diagnosis - it's just some people are stronger and deeper than your ex. Being bipolar is only a part of you, you've a lot more to you than your illness. As Spokette says, don't let it define you.
