Did you guys have a hard time finding a significant other that handles your swings well? I see a lot of you post about husbands/wives/kids and I'm just wondering how the dating process went for you. A lot of the people I've dated say that they're fine with my mental health issues, but 6 months down the line they say it's too much for them to handle. I try telling them not to worry about it and to just be there, but I find most of them think that they can "fix" me, and get frustrated when they can't.
I am pretty young though (19) so I'm still adjusting to bipolar, and a lot of guys my age or close are frustrating enough without adding in serious issues.
I've also always been drawn to kinda unemotional guys though, which probably doesn't help. It's just frustrating trying to find someone who's both accepting and supportive. Did you have this same problem? Thanks
