My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over 2 years and in the beginning it was great and then about a year and a half ago I started acting out, I went to the doctors and was diagnosed as bi-polar. My boyfriend says he understands some of my behavior is uncontrollable but he seems to loose his temper with it very quickly. WE fight to no end it seems like we are always arguing over stupid things and not getting anywhere. Neither one of us want to argue anymore and would like to try to work things out and maybe even get married someday but this constant fighting has to stop before we can do this. There is a lot more on the line than just our relationship we have three kids and we have never gotten physical with each other. I would really appreciate help on how to defuse situations that could turn in to argument or maybe some coping skills from people with my disorder. Anyone who has any advice or help in this please give me your help. Thank you for reading.
