Being in a relationship where one or both partners have bipolar disorder is not easy. This sub is a place that people can come for advice or just to vent so that we do not affect our significant others with our emotions. There are a couple of already popular bipolar subs but having a specific sub just for relationships is important in order to facilitate a community of support. Posts are often about sensitive issues. Please follow our rules and make sure to be supportive.

Seeing your significant other in a psychosis takes a lot of patience, understanding, and strength. It makes me sad as the spouse when it does happen because I know they can’t control it. submitted by /u/indianahoosierdream [link] [comments]
So not sure if this is normal but my BP BF blames me for everything, even the craziest things. The AC wasn't working and he blamed me for not keeping it running during the heat wave. he blamed me for things falling around the house that he tipped over because I "put it there". he blamed me for random service at restaurants/hotels that didn't go well. I'm not sure if this is a symptom of…
so my bf has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for a while, and i was well aware of it when i started dating him a year ago this has happened before, and the things he said sometimes still stick with me, i don’t know how to get over them because i know logically it’s all lies but in the moment it really gets to me and increases my anxiety a lot, causing me to act out too since i (probably) will…
Hello. First post here. A little nervous to open up but uh here we go. I was diagnosed with BP2 about 6 months ago. There was a just a day where I thought, wow do I have anger issues on top of depression? Found out, well, yeah kind of. This has been a very tough road. I am almost 40 and finding out about this diagnosis at this stage has me a mess. Looking back and seeing that I have definitely had…
hi guys, new poster here. im not dating this guy per say but we have both fallen very very fucking hard for eachother. ive been a victim of lovebombing before but the vulnerability, depth and warmth of our conversations and the love he showed me was something i have never experienced in my entire life. he's currently cold turkey off meds and quitting alcohol addiction and moving house and is…
TW suicide attempt My ex BP1 SO of two years and I ended our relationship in late 2025. Tried to work it out for a month or so after. Mutually decided to say goodbye and went no contact. Then months later he had a manic episode that I got looped into. I went over to his house bc I was genuinely terrified bc something was off and he said no one was free to help him and he couldn’t be alone etc I…
Hi. Is this the right place to post? I don't know. As the title says, I think my GF is bipolar. I dont know much about the disorder nor am I a phyciatrist. (I'm not native english speaking either, so forgive me) She has immense mood swings, triggered by small things, and the common thing is usually always the same - me. Often times, I sit there like a dumb question mark, wondering what it was this…
Hi everyone, I’m mentally exhausted and trying to understand what is happening without falling into either extreme: blaming everything on bipolar disorder or assuming that my partner suddenly stopped loving me and silently ended our relationship. I would really appreciate hearing from people who have experienced something similar with a BP2 partner. Some context We’ve been together for about 6…
My BPSO has been seeing a therapist after months of trying to convince them to get help. They went to their first appointment, paused going for xyz reasons, cleared up xyz reasons, attended another appointment but now wants a different therapist. I’m hoping this isn’t going to be a constant battle of therapist swapping and delaying psychiatric treatment because I do know finding a good “fit” is…
I’ve been in a relationship for many years with a loved one who is bipolar. We have a child together. I used to read this page and be thankful that my SO has never discarded me, but my heart finally came to the realization that I have been discarded many times. It just looks different for us. My SO literally avoids and hides from me. They tell me they just need time alone, time off work, no…
