Anything good?
I (43f)recently started dating a (43m) who had been diagnosed with BP years ago. He has been explaining things to me and gave me a book to read about it. It’s been a very different relationship than any in my past. I really like so much about him and we have so much in common. He is a kind caring man and father. I notice he goes through moods where he thinks everything I’m saying to him is an insult or me being passive aggressive…which I am not. It’s making me have to explain myself and talk him down from whatever this constant response is to everything I say. He also is always thinking im looking for someone better or harps on who I dated in my past. He tends to belittle my job and act like we are in competition of who is better. I don’t like that at all. How can I curb this behavior? I came here to read more on it but everyone seems to have bad experiences with a bpso. Should I just cut ties? I want to make it work but everything I’m seeing seems like it never ends well and I’m setting us up for failure if I stay.
