I certainly don't think that he could even be called unmedicated. No, he is self-medicating by mixing an OTC drug and a prescription drug. Plus anabolic steroids. Plus alcohol. If it is at all possible to get rid of him, I think you should do so. Tell him that you have changed your mind about the girl at the gym. Tell him that you have given the matter a serious consideration and realized that you, unfortunately, can't support him in his passion. You find repeated mentions of his looks dumb. Plus, you have tried to develop an interest in listening about how much weight he is lifting, but failed. You realize that you cannot give him what he deserves (admiration and awe) and sincerely hope that the girl at the gym, since she was excited about his workouts, would be a far better partner for him. Ciao (ie good riddance but do not say it out loud).

Yes he is overly medicated but not when it comes to his bi polar. He always thought the exercise could control it. He is 49 and I am sure a 32 year old who worships his workout skills was hard to turn down. Either way, he is bad for me and I do believe he will "wake up" and realize what he has lost (thrown away). He is to into his body and ego and the fact he still says he loves me I guess in his mind should forgive his treatment of me. It is so messed up between us its ridiculous. I was planning to move there and be with him until the gym girl told off on him. So glad I did not make such a major life change and then find out about his deception. I do wonder though if he has any remorse for his treatment of me and IF in any way this is characteristic with someone who is bi polar. I guess I am trying to gain an understanding of this disease. Thank you so much for some insight.
