I am just getting out of a relationship where, my fiance's insistence on 'living in the past', drove me away.

She was abused as a child, by her step-father. She also has Bi-Polar Disorder.

Because of those two things, she was, either, 'diagnosing' me with every mental health disorder listed in the PDR(Physicians Desk Reference) or, she was blaming left n' right for her problems.

I am in so much pain.

It's hard when we're consumed with our own issues and project them on others. My stepmother and I emotionally abused one another the 15-20 years of our "active" relationship, hurting one another back and forth because we had been stung by the quick and didn't understand one another or know how to be ourselves and "fix" the relationship. Occasionally now I think how I would have acted/been different if I'd known then what I know now. I'm sorry for your pain.

Hello I am sorry to hear about your pain.
Sometimes it is okay to move on if it is for the best for your mental and physical health. You may want to consider getting therapy since you had to exist in such a relationship for a long period of time. Bipolar not only affects the person with Bipolar but also the person they are involved with as well. Take care I hope the best foryou in the future. Sincerely soidhonia
