Anyone dating someone bi-polar?

I had been dating this amazing guy for 3 months. Things were getting pretty serious, and we were both crazy about each other. Then the other night, out of nowhere he says "I don't want to be in a relationship right now" and leaves. Now he won't talk to me, won't give me an explanation and the one time I did get him to talk to me he said a whole bunch of stuff that really made no sense. I did some research on bi-polar disorder and he seems to be in a manic state, has anyone ever gone through something like this? Is this normal?

    He's just not into you. That's not bi-polar. That's over-thinking.

    The term "bi-polar" disorder is thrown around these days so carelessly. If a person is feeling slightly more hyper than usual their friend/girlfriend/boyfriend might say "You are being very bi-polar!" or something along those lines. This has caused our society to become desensitized to the actual severity of this disorder.

    I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be harsh because I don't personally know you or your boyfriend and I don't know the details of his actions but try not to assume that this is the case. I do commend you for doing the research on it though and not just assuming it without any facts to back up your assumption. So, if you truly feel that he has this disorder you should try to convince him to get help. While bi-polar disorder is not curable, it can be easily (most of the time) controlled with medication. I wish you the best of luck, and sorry you are going through this ordeal.

    Hi I'm a 32 YO guy with BPD. The non-sensical rambling MIGHT be BPD, it might be something else (drugs?) When I go hypomanic, there is a WHOLE lot more "pressure" to my thoughts and emotions. Words still make sense, but others might have a hard time following them. All of a sudden, everyone will think, "man, I never knew he cared that much about anything...what's eating him?" But I'm never ever violent/destructive/abusive.

    My moms bi-polar . It sucks. If I go somewhere crowded with her, she just gets up and leaves. She can't stand the anxiety.
    Its okay. But maybe your wrong & it's not bipolar. :)

    I used to be bipolar and reacted many times exactly like your bf did, and couldn't understand it myself. Then one day I met a girl. Just as I was about to leave her, she grabbed me and gave me amazing oral sex. Was the first girl I met who swallowed. I was so thrilled and shocked at the same time that I got cured. I married her and I am the happiest man in the world. I would do anything for her. No one could give head the way she does. Try it.

    yeah talk to my ex girlfriend!
    she just thinks she's not good enough for anyone used to always be down and upset and just cry for no reason, then she broke up with me cos she said she didnt want to be in a relationship...
    i saw the break up coming tbh there was something up with her for a while she just couldnt talk to me which hurt
    she never could just open up and be honest with me from the start i guess...?

    I my self am bi-polar, and when I was younger I did have problems staying in a steady relationship, but honestly it was usually when my intrest in that person had changed, and there was someone else willing/wanting to have a relationship with me... So I'd begin to have anxiety attacks knowing that there was someone who cared about me, and wanted to be with me, and in the momment of it all I would just dump the guy I was with. Most the time, later feeling like it was the wrong move, and causing myself to have a manic episode from all the tension, and pressure.
    A manic episode can sometimes last a week or more. So give him a week or so to sort out all his thoughts, and then maybe try talking to him again.
