Would you leave your boyfriend if he did this?

My boyfriend is Bi Polar so he constantly has mood swings, which I can deal with it, and I'm use to it but he hasn't been taking his medication. But after school me and a guy friend were walking to his car and talking, because we are going to a concert this weekend. So when he was leaving he hugged me and kissed my head. (This is normal, we've been friends since we were 2 and he's like my little brother). I didn't know my boyfriend was watching so when my friend pulled away he grabbed me and started screaming that I was cheating on him and that I didn't love him anymore, I knew he was just having one of his episodes so I tried to calm him down but when I did he slapped me across the face.

Now I know he wasn't in his right mind at the time, and he kept apoligizing to me. When he took me home, he actually walked into my house got me ice or my face and explained it to my mom and called his parents to explain. When he left, she was angry but explained that I shoulden't have to deal with that and that I should leave, but she was going to let me make my own decisions.

He has never hit me before and he and his parents are going to make sure he takes his Medication regularly. I don't want to leave him, and he is usually a really great boyfriend.

So would you leave him?

    Id give him a second chance. But that's it. My ex husband is bipolar and has some other issues. It started with him just throwing things slamming walls etc in his moods. He would apologize go to his psych take his meds for a bit then id start noticing he wasn't taking them steady then one time during a argument he kicked me. I was pissed but let it go cause it had never happened before then the next time he blocked my path in a argument and I tried to shove passed him and he broke my ribs. He cried and apologized too and I was stupid at that point with forgiveness and took him back next time he threw me across the room into a glass door. ...so yeah...forgiveness can be a good thing but not to the point of stupidity (Like me ) and id make sure he is definitely definitely taking his medicine. My ex was a great guy medicated. Unmedicated he was very very scary. Please be careful in whatever you decide. Sometimes these things can work out and its only once and hopefully this was a good wake up call for your guy. But seriously if anything close to this happens again id seriously think twice about being forgiving a second time. Look out for yourself. Good luck.

      I am so sorry you had to go through that. I am going to stay with him, but I know now to be more cautious about our relationship. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me.

    Don't leave him. He messed up, and he shouldn't have hit you, but his apology seemed very sincere. He apologized to you, your parents, and his parents. He definitely regrets it and wishes he could take it back. To leave him over this would show that you aren't a forgiving person, and the emotional pain that he would go through would hurt 10 million times worse than that slap. Just forgive him and let it go. He said he's going to start taking his medication again which is good. Now if it does happen again, you might consider it, but for now forgive him. What he did was terrible, but everyone makes mistakes, and everyone who apologizes deserves forgiveness.

    Give it a chance if you love him. If he doesn't stick to his medication then take that as a warning sign to leave

    Well, first of all, I wouldn't have a boyfriend, but I sense that's beside the point.

    If you decide to stay with him get one of those personal stun gun/taser things. If he tries that shit again, light him up. Then break up with him.

    Under no circumstances should a man hit a woman.... NONE!! Even with his bipolar episode he should not have hit u.. I would never tell you to leave him but u should defiantly give you two some time apart..

    That's sad just make sure he takes his medicine regularly and take it slow one step at a time and watch for sign and what not and go from there but in the end it's your choice. Talk to him.

    Seriously, I wronged this girl that I LOVED, and I begged her for forgiveness, and she never really told me that she forgave me. We aren't friends anymore, and it tore me apart. Seriously. How can one mistake ruin a relationship like that. What I did wasn't even that wrong, but if you love him you'll realize that leaving him is the wrong thing to do.
