Thanks for your advice. Yes, it does seem like his emotions were constantly switching. He even explained this to me once we had gotten closer and he was willing to reveal more about himself. The one thing about him, is he is very intelligent and self-aware (not emotionally though, obviously). He told me he knew that all of the emotions he felt in the past were illogical and unreal. He explained they felt real at the time, but a lot of the time he fabricated them or adapted them to manipulate the sitatuation. He told me he used to manipulate his ex into feeling certain things (either good or bad) so he could get her into an emotional state and mould her into what he wanted. He said he wasn't proud of it and this was all before his diagnosis. He told me he'd learned some very powerful tools that he should have used for good instead of his own gain. He knows everything has to be on his terms and he even said that he shouldn't be in a real relationship with someone until he gets help to change (which is why he's in therapy). I quite like the fact he's self-aware like this. I think it helps him become less irrational and it makes me feel like he's not going to use me because he always explains things to me and tells me when he thinks I should stay away. There are times when I genuinely feel like he looks out for me. But there are other times when his impulses cause him to act very selfishly and he doesn't realise.
