He sounds l like he has his own pathology if you ask me. Like one of those guys who idealizes women. It's not normal to be in love and wanting to get married one minute and be bored of you the next. That is f ucked. That is not normal, and I would RUN from that relationship... dangerous to be mind-f ucked like that even for a healthy person, but potentially deadly for someone like us.

You are heart-broken so it will be very difficult to see this as positive, but I honestly believe that you are dodging a bullet here.

As for your hypomania... If he's not man enough to be able to stand in such bright light and hold his own, then you deserve better.

Your ideal mate will be strong and sure of himself and not threatened by hypomania. He will be patient and able to practice tolerance. He will love you for who you are and he will love you while you are hypomanic as well as while you are depressed. Your ideal mate will love you and will respect and appreciate your bipolar, not hold it against you.

You deserve much, much better and I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. Heartbreak is one of the worst types of grief. I hope you are gathering your supports around you and I hope you feel better soon.
