Last night I mention to her that I was "tempted" to get a puppy I saw online. She said "if you got a dog, it would be a deal-breaker". So, the controlling behavior is still there. I'm guessing the hypomania is making her irritable. She also told me that she is never going to file her annulment paperwork. When she said that, I hung up on her. She texted asking if I hung up on her, and I texted back that I won't put up with that kind of behavior. We have plans for this weekend, and I don't know if I can hang out with her while she is in this state.
I'm at an all time low for hope in the relationship....

If you getting a dog is a deal breaker and all the other issues that seem to arise from the illness she has then is this something that you really want to live with long term? Life is hard enough without all that other drama.
She needs to take care of herself and if she is to have any real long term progress she needs to want it and set boundaries herself. Maybe if you both had some time apart you would see how how committed she is to maintaining her own wellness. |

Please do not hang up on a bipolar person if you have any hope of making this work. That is just going to give you more grief. She will obsess about it for sure. __________________ Bipolar 2 with anxious distress mixed states & rapid cycling under severe stress tegretol 200 mg wellbutrin 75 mg, cut in half or higher dose as needed Regular aerobic exercise SKILLSET/KNOWLEDGE BASE: Family Medical Advocate Masters in Library Science Multiple Subject Teaching Credential-15 yrs in public schools |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
