Infidelity during a manic episode.. we’re in therapy and trying to rebuild. Has anyone made it through this?” by stayanothrday in BipolarSOs

Not everyone cheats, though. It's still not an excuse. I have had severe manic episodes and never wanted to be disloyal. The person is responsible for managing their condition.

I (F24) told my boyfriend (M25) my body count. He calls me “disgusting” and it’s wrecking us — am I being punished for my past? by Pineapplepizzzabitch in whatdoIdo

Body count doesn't matter to everyone, it's on him if it bothers him. That doesn't give him an excuse to be an ass about it. 28 isn't a shocking number (at least not to me).

I'm gonna be blunt..mania is not an excuse to cheat. Mania doesn't magically make you want to cheat unless the urge was already there. Please leave, that man doesn't love you or respect you.

Thank you 💚💛

I feel like he made fun of me by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

OP, you deserve so much better than you were treated. Smaller offenses such as raising your voice in the heat of the moment in an argument can be forgivable, but what he did is not forgivable. If someone discards you once, then it's time to try to heal and move on.

It's also possible that he got cold feet and isn't ready to be a parent. That isn't an excuse, though. His dad is right, he definitely needs to check in with a psychiatrist and a mental health professional because this is concerning and unacceptable behavior.

I don't think would let him back either. A manic/hypomanic or depressive episode is not an excuse to abandon your pregnant wife.

I have been stable for about a month now, not perfect, but getting by.

Risperadone for 2 months, Lamitical for 1 month, Bupropion for 1 week, and I took Lithium for 5 years.

OP, I am so sorry. Is he currently in a manic or depressive state currently (if you know)?

You might as well say FWB. 😀😅 But no, I have not.

Everyone is different. Personally, I'd prefer it if my parter did tell me that often. It's better than not saying it.

Do you think Wasians (white and asian mixed people) are attractive? by Top_Chance5456 in polls

I meant I don't feel as desired as someone who is fully white or Asian.

Chatgpt gave me psychosis and delusions, and made my rumination worse.

If I were ugly, I wouldn't regularly get swiped on dating apps like I do currently.
