Bipolar Depression

I was with a girl many years ago that was a cheater, she wasn't bi polar, but just needed mre than one at a time.


I am with a BP woman now, and she really needs validation and attention from men, she hasn't cheated but really likes attention from men. she knows she's got a problem and is in therapy, and doesn't WANT to feel this way anymore.

but can this go too far? could a bp'er get to deep in getting that attention that he/she does something stupid?

Yes. Run as fast as you can.

I am not the spouse of a sufferer, I am b/p. I had a large problem with attention during my teenage years. I felt that I had to have approval from men and alot of it was sexual

BUT PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP ON HER!

Please, if you love her, don't assume she will cheat and break it off. I have been engaged and completely committed to my fiance for 3 years now. I never thought that was something I could do. You just have to be patient and work with her. Something that help me alot was validation from my fiance. I know, your dating her, that means you think shes pretty. But she doesn't know that. Surprise her with calls at work, send her flowers, find out what makes her feel good about her self and do that.

Good luck

I am just starting to experience the same issue with my wife. My thoughts are with you.

I can bear a lot in a relationship, but know myself well enough to know that I cannot bear infidelity. Just the thought of her flirting breaks my heart and makes me physically ill.

I have a feeling that there is no answer to this one. Figure out how you feel about it, where your lines are drawn and speak with someone about it.

My wife has recently taken to focusing on being attractive at all times, and though she's not flirty, it's become obvious that she craves the attention. Add that to secrecy, and it's enough to make one feel nervous.

Pensador is right in suggesting some introspection on how you feel about this, and how much would be too much. Are you seeing a counselor yourself?

I am not seeing a therapist, I was in therapy for my own issues since I was five, and have over come, well not over come but learned a new meanings to what I feel and in turn how to handle them, i.e. depression doesn't HAVE to mean the world is falling apart, it could just mean that I need to go hang with friends, or that I'm not happy with my daily routine and what I'm doing, and one I make changes I'm not depressed anymore.

anyway, my now wife has an issue with not responding to her ex, he bugs her all teh time and she responds, says she feels bad for him. (cause she left me for a couple weeks to stay at her gf's and made him think they had a shot) and is now back. but I said to her that responding alone is just sending a message that you are available to him.

she def needs validation, and attention from men and has a hard time letting go of the past.

therapy is helping but she has such a struggle with will power
