Hi,new here,I live with bipolar....mostly hypomania or depression. Last 8 months I have been dating guy with same mental/emotional issues as me.I understood him well,lots in common. But recently I have been aware that he brings up issues from our past that have been talked and resolved already.For example,when he first liked me and wanted to go out,he started bringing me flowers and cards,I was flattered and said thank you!
Then he started bringing more flowers and cards,I got overwhelmed and told him to please slow down on pursuing me,I asked him to give me flowers and cards once inawhile,that I appreciated them,but I easily get overwhelmed. He said many women would love flowers and cards. I said I do like flowers and cards.....but relationship is about much more. Then today we have nice time....then boom....he brings up out of nowhere flowers and cards,I tell him this is starting to make me feel bad about myself...I did not do anything wrong by telling him my feelings in gentle manner...then he says I am taking this too serioulsy. That I am anaylizing. Um No...his repetious talk is starting to make me feel nuts...and I feel better when.I am away from him. He is sweet,kind,gentle,not a player,very old school with mannets...but I finally told him...no more repeating issue over and over again. Anyway relate to this? Thank you.
