Is it normal for my boyfriend to insult me like this?

http://i48.tinypic.com/6ymaex.png
There's a screenshot of what he said to me.
It started because I was telling him not to keep asking me for something before he started. He got very angry and told me to shut the hell up and not assume how he feels. (He is bipolar)
is he being abusive to me?
I'm upset and confused. He is 21 and I'm a bit younger.
Advice?
Is it normal? Does your significant other talk like this to you?

    Go and call anyone else stupid and dense. They'd hardly take the insult as constructive criticism or go out of their way to make up excuses for your bad behaviour.

    So take it for what it is: an insult. And if you don't stand up to and get tough with this bully/cowardly boyfriend expect more.

    The problem is... we're only seeing a snippit of conversation. So we don't know if this is how he always talks, or if he's just lashing out at you because you hurt him.

    My own recommendation is... instead of talking to us about how horrible he is, why not talk to HIM about your relationship. Communicate with him - meaning you tell him how this makes you feel, but you also listen to what he has to say too.

    If you don't feel that's possible. Or if you feel you cannot communicate with him. Or feel the only answer is to say how badly he treats you....

    then it's time to reexamine why you're in this relationship anyway

  • Him being bipolar doesn't mean you have to take shit from him.

    Run as fast you can from this relationship, you do not deserve to be treated this way, there is someone out there that will treat you better.

    This relationship is doomed. He shouldn't treat you like this, even if he's bipolar. You don't deserve to be treated this way. If you really want to make it work, I'd try to be more sensitive to him as to not stimulate his angry side.

    Not enough information to go on. Bi polar can vary from quite functional to extreme. I have a bipolar son whom I love, but he has punched holes in our walls when he was angry, and he can drive you crazy with his talking about the technical aspects of digital computing or the nuances of various oriental languages when he was in his manic phase.

    I don't see what's so terrible about your little spat. All these people telling you to "get out of this relationship ASAP" know nothing about what goes on between you guys besides this argument (if you even want to call it that) that you showed us. I have gotten into plenty worse arguments with friends, family, and even past girlfriends. People say stuff they mean at that moment in time, but they don't actually mean it.

    Don't run from the relationship if you and this guy really care for eachother. You need to talk things through like adults and strive to make eachother happy. If he doesn't want to do that, then you have every right to cut things off. But you have to talk about it when you both are cooled off. Remember, love is a gamble and it's not full of roses and rainbows all the time.

        So, he was abusive but he still throws things and talks to you in a rude way... Why are you still with him? If he didn't change then, why would he change now?
