Don't have a relationship with bi-polar women. Just as importantly, don't have relationships with liars or narcissists, either.

The problem with your request is there is a buried assumption that you can fix matters or accommodate yourself to her deep dysfunction. In truth, there is no long-term reward in it, just misery and heartbreak.

There are a lot (I mean a LOT) of bipolar people who doesn't even know they are this way. They can function very well almost all the time (without medication), problem is the people around them (husbands, daughters, son, parents, boyfriends, girlfriends)

The manic episode is distressful for all around them. I don't recommend dating someone who doesn't know is this way. At least no seriously dating. If you stick around for the awful truth you will be shocked.

Never fall in love with a bipolar...ever!!!

After all I experienced with my ex, I couldn't agree with you more. It's a path best never traveled at least with no real solid expectations

Bi polar women poke the gator with a stick and laugh when he growls and snaps. He already done chomped two other sticks into splinters with a single thrashing bite. They also don't fear 3 phase 480 volt power. It's a 24 volt doorbell to them.

In other words, crazy as they come. Sleep with your kevlar on! May God rid her of her evil spirits soon before someone gives her a reality check.

Relationships are hard as it is...but with bipolars take a whole new meaning. Just dated one woman who I suspect is a bipolar, but I didn't know that until I saw the scary and hurful episode, which to this date (that was back in March) I don't fully understand.

The yelling, the words...is not your "normal" anger thing.

Even with medication, bipolarity is never fixed, the medication is just to avoid episodes, therapy is also recommend it. But beware of those outbursts on women and men who don't even know they are this way. Those are the most dangerous. You fall in love, you will get hurt. They are prone to get off the grid for days, they break with you for the silliest reason, they are cheaters and they don't know why they cheat. It's just awful. They only chase you when you are on their good terms and they often confuse love with fixation.

You cannot reason with them, and the official name is "affective bipolarity disorder". Emotions run wild with them, like several voices talking at the same time. They can deal with reason mostly well, but when emotions are involved (the case with relationship) they are just wild and they don't even know why.

If you deal with them, ask him about their clinical history. If they already been treated for depression, that's a red flag. If they are divorced, another red flag.

On women there are almost 60% chance they will develop bipolarity before 50 yrs old, if they are divorced and with a clinical history of depression.

Beware and run to the hills...run for your life!!!

She told you that? Then there is more chance if she takes her meds.
