Hello Friends! It's my first time here. I try to get some answers for a particular situation I'm dealing with. My boyfriend's behavior is so different lately. He begins to be obsessed with control, with what I do and I should do. Recently the relationship has been compromised to end due to his stringent requirements. If I laugh if I say or make a decition one way or another he always has something to say. Lately he's not happy at all with what I do or what I should do. And when I suggest that maybe I'm not the woman he wants and we should end the relationship, is when he want to talk and reach some agreements ... I'm mentally tired trying to find some solutions... Any ideas, diagnosis or solution? Need help!!

That's not bipolar. That is potentially abusive behavior that will only escalate if you do not RUN from this man.

Please 'git while the gittin's good'. Bipolar or not, you don't need this guy in your life.

Well, it's impossible to diagnose your boyfriend since we're not doctors here. But over in the relationships section is this thread with a link to the abuse and control wheel.

I suggest you take a look at the link. It's in the very first post.

Yeah, that 'just' sounds like a control issue but like dark_heart said, we can't really diagnose it and there really isn't enough info to even make the assumption he is bipolar. Just sounds like someone who likes to play mind games from what you posted and that, probably, isn't a good sign.

Thanks for posting that wheel, dark_heart. I can see some things on there in a past relationship that helps to reinforce me getting out of it.
