Just joined and have been dating this wonderful girl which I have met over the past few Mo's. She told me she was dx'd bp from the start. Didn't slow her or I down at all though.
Great everything! Conversation, "cuddles", etc!
She is on my mind nonstop and I would like to attribute it to our mania.
Still, her actions are completely confusing to me. Guess I should read more of my own story Eh?. Anyway, there were a few problems with exs which seemed to surface in a shutout approach from her. The way she can stop calling and answering for periods floors me. I guess I ought to reply with nothing also. Is she manipulating me or am I stupid for not dumping it all. Too bad she is so close to my heart. If not, I wouldn't be writing this....

you must look at all this,to be able to make a desicion on where to go.

Hey Rob, Thanks for the reply. I am usually very good at figuring out people/relationships, yet, she has me stumped. She is completely open about the "illness." I really think all people go through these cycles, just to varying degrees. Still the the way she can shift gears overnight without any logical reason is what puzzles me most. I guess being reserved with my feelings is in order to protect myself, but damn it is tough. I feel like I am playing poker with her.

yea thats how it is.i 'm ussually pretty good at reading peole too,yet after 18 years i am still stumped by my wife.i gave up trying to figure her out.its pointless.you will also learn this.just wait till she "shifts gears" in the middle of the day..that will really throw you for a loop.
i wouldn't say to reserve your feelings.that sometimes can cause more problems.its more about learning when to express them.and how to.that takes time to learn.

"playing poker",interesting concept.kinda waiting for someone to call bluff!
