I'm not sure if this has anything to do with his bipolar disorder, but I'm sure it has contributed some factors to the situation.

My boyfriend and I love each other very much. We have major ups and downs according to his mood swings (I'm still learning about certain things that can trigger them). I've never been with someone like this before so, whereas I was not very thoughtful on my actions, I slip up and not necessarily think through of what I do could be perceived as - if that makes any sense. Things get misinterpreted and I have to try my hardest and damnedest to reassure him, give him space, and wait for him to calmly come back around. Every time it's like a very delicate strategy and it makes me fear the end of the relationship because of the intensity.

So, there's that little background. I'm not sure if this is another time where I need to execute my strategy or not. My boyfriend thinks I cheated on him when I did not. It was an assumed/misinterpreted situation and I've spent about an hour trying to convince him otherwise, but he won't budge.

I'm not sure where to go from here. I'd take any advice, especially from those who've been in a similar situation.

While I have not been in your shoes, I assure you that you have done enough. If you have spent an hour trying in earnest to convince him that you did not cheat on him, that is enough. It is not your responsibility to do anything further. Maybe he has paranoid ideation, who knows? It is not your fault.

Hey there,
I was in this situation not to long ago! I was always getting accused of cheating. Because of one situation and to do this day he still thinks I cheated on him. I even have are proof of where I was all night and still won't believe me. I went through he'll trying to prove it every way that I didn't cheat and still I'm a cheater in his eyes... So I finally said looks if you really believe in your heart I cheated the break up with me. Cause you know what girl in the end you can't be with someone who doesn't trust you. So after I said that he doesn't bring it up much any,ore cause now its on his plate. I did what I could and he wants to think that way so he can take the next action. I know he still thinks I did and whatever but in the end obviously he really doesn't cause he wouldn't be with me!

A clever solution!
