You said he's bipolar. Does he see a therapist, or doctor for his condition? Is he on medication for it? If not, he should. If he's not being treated for his bipolar, or refuses to do so, I'd say try your hardest to walk away because the cycle of emotional abuse will keep on going and possibly get worse. If he is being treated and working with someone, I think he deserves a chance.

Get out before it escalates into a legal situation that he will go to prison for and I mean that. I am in victim's advocacy and you don't have to have this 'man' in your life. He isn't work the stress, anxiety, depression, etc. that go along with this type of behaviour.

You don't need this man in your life - if you read anything about the abuse of women, you'll find that things like this DON'T change, they generally get worse. Please don't put yourself in danger of physical abuse. There are many good people in the world - don't pick someone who will be cruel to you for a long, long, time. Hugs, Leah x

Leave him cos it could escalate in time to violence. Your worth more than having someone like that. The crazy nasty times outweigh the sweet times 🌜✨💫

@A MyDepressionTeam Member, I am so sorry that you have had to face such harsh treatment from someone you love. I read through all the comments and what I pick up from your replies is that this happens fairly often which means that there is no inclination that he is going to stop his destructive behaviour any time soon. The fact that he doesn't want to take any medication and is reluctant to seek help makes me feel a little uneasy because he is not acknowledging that his behaviour is destructive and there seems to be a complete lack of empathy on his part, which makes him even more of a danger to you as well as himself. I understand why you are hesitant and love can be very blind at times but in my opinion, sometimes the only way to show someone that you love them is by letting them go.

If it were me, I'd kick him to the kerb... maybe that is all he needs to realise that his behaviour has to change and while I understand that you are worried about how he might handle it, he needs to understand that he can't go around treating people this way. Also, I think that is part of the emotional control that he has over you which isn't cool. Break free while you still have the strength to do it, hun, because the longer you stay, the deeper he will pull you and you might end up losing your own battle in the process. Focus on you and your health.

I'm sending my love and light your way x
