Love is sometimes too strong

Default profile image
I've had a relationship with my boyfriend for 4 years overall. The first year was perfect, but then I decided to be on my own. After a year we started talking again just as friends, but after a week it quickly progressed. We started dating again and it was perfect, but then I broke up with him because I wanted to be single. So about a month after that, we started talking and ending up dating again. This time was different, I could tell that I was falling in love with him and that he was with me too. The first 5 months were perfect. But after that, I started treating him awfully and it was because I forgot how much I had. So, one day he tried to break up with me but in that exact moment made me realize how much I had.. So we ended up staying together and fixing things, but then the tables turned. He was the one who started treating me like crap. Ever since that, he's been bipolar. One day he loves me to death and wants be to be with him forever... but then the next he hates me and wants nothing to do with me. I can't leave him because I love him so much.

Advance, you need to speak to your BF and ask him what is making him angry for him to abuse you when he does. His underlying issues are the cause of it. While you've had a 4 year relationship which has been rocky at times, the two of you need to understand that you haven't connected on a deeper level. If you had connected earlier in your relationship, you wouldn't have forgotten what you had. And your first year couldn't have been 'perfect', otherwise you would have stayed with him and wouldn't have bothered about being single. Your relationship needs to have a true purpose to get that established bond between you. It needs respect for each other as well as honesty and communication. If you can't achieve this bond, then it doesn't matter how much you love him, your relationship will remain as it is now.

I don't necessarily agree with that one if he's bi polar that could be the underlying issue itself. I'd try to talk to him let him know it's hurting you and ask him to get some help maybe the right medications will even him out. My brother is bi polar and my mom was I've grown up around it all my life. I'm the only one in the family that didn't end up with it. But one of the big symtpons is anger.

What's making him angry is all of the fighting which causes him to be stressed. But what he doesn't realize is that I want to stop fighting and he does too but he is the one who causes all of them because he is so mean, bipolar, and angry all of the time. If he could just stop treating me like this then we woul be awesome.
