Hey, all.

I (f49) have recently begun seeing someone (m60). We have a good connection, and a lot in common. It is rapidly evolving into a serious relationship.

My problem: over the months that we have been together, I just so happen to have been doing very well, where my bipolar episodes/symptoms are concerned.

I have been honest about my past hospitalizations, suicide attempt, and struggling with this condition for so many years. He knows I am on disability for serious mental illness.

But I don't think he gets it. He seems to think I will always be in my current condition. And if the past is a predictor of the future, I will at some point be having problems.

Are there books or resources I should point him toward? Or what do you all think? I think it's only fair to make sure he understands what he could potentially be getting into.

Please share your thought or opinions with me.
