What do you do when you have a significant other who takes it for granted that whevener there is conflict or tension it's you because of your illness?
I hear things wrong. I'm too sensitive. I take "ten thousand pills" every day. Never her or her enormous talent to spin things in her favor until I've lost track of what the issue was to start with... I'm just saying. I guess I'm just *****ing. What do you do with a person whom you love but who has absolutely no self insight and who is so defensive you can't even finish a sentence? At the end of the day I guess I have to trust my own perceptions which I've not really ever done. My own perceptions and interpretations are all I really have |

Behind every beautiful woman -- there's some poor guy who is tired of putting up with her nonsense...

^lol, because I hope you're kidding, hankster!
You guys need some couples counseling, Set Me Free. You don't have to be married to want to work this out. Alternatively, you can set yourself free from the relationship. |

hankster????
 i too hope you're kidding. this is a supportive community.set me free, i'd suggest you print out a definition of your disorder and ask that he read it. if he has questions answer them to the best of your ability. this guy/bf is well, i'd kick him to the curb if he kept this up. my son kept referencing my bipolar about everything i did. i told him to chill cause it's not just my bipolar, it's my personality and stop blaming or referencing everything as bipolar. he was kind enough to stop. i gave him a printout too.

The "beautiful woman" is the one giving the letter writer grief. He says it's "never her", it's always him who is at fault. So, yes, I repeated a joke told to this lonely old lady by a disgruntled married man - not exactly PC (nor politically correct!) but supportive of the male partner in this r/s and his attitude. Don't make him post in the For men only section to get a little sympathy!

((((((hankster)))))) No matter what sex is doing the blaming and what sex is suffering, it is hard when one blames another for having mental issues. I understand how difficult it is to just be blamed and have your issues used for reasons that really dont apply. I am sorry that happens, it makes it much more difficult to work around the issues you face.

The answer…. Communication, negotiation and compromise.
Or for a more peaceful life simply let it go in one ear and out the other.
