My name is Brian.
My fiancée is bipolar. We are planning on getting married soon, but we have a serious problem that I need help with.

We are 100% committed to each other and ready to start our lives together, but she has a major fear of change. I've studied bipolar and I'm aware of this issue, and greatly sympathise with her problem.

However, it seems to be a roadblock in our progress. Everytime she gets the courage to move in with me, fear takes over and she backs out at the last minute. This has happened several times over the last year. As I am aware of the issues bipolar people have, I have been very patient, but we need help.

What advice can you give her that might help her make the final push to move in and begin our lives together? I love her and am willing to help in any way possible.

Her name is Genevieve, and if you post a response, I will direct her to this forum and your answers.

Thank you in advance!

I am no doctor, but first this that comes to mind: do not move together. Do everything like you live together, until she does the move by herself and not as a response to your push.

We can't do anything like we live together. We live 128 miles apart.
