an update
I'm ok, but still stuck in this relationship and don't know how to get out. I hate to hurt someone. We talked and he mostly stopped asking me to do everything for him, but there are still other things that really get to me. First, he is agoraphobic and is very afraid to leave the house. Second, he is bi polar, like me. Two bi polar people can't be good together. I am trying so hard to make this work but I get so depressed when I am with him. He sleeps all afternoon and most of the evening as well. I started my own Avon business and he just hates it when I am doing work at my desk rather that sitting on the couch next to him. I truly care about him and love him, but it's making me crazy being here. What do I do? Oh..the doctor had increased my Lithium to 3x per day and I started having really bad reactions, I kept having these twitching motions, everything tasted like tin. And worst of all it did not stabilize my outburts (again I really think the outbursts are stemming from my relationship situation). I'm down to 2 lithiums a day but still don't still quite stable, and can't sleep.
Bottom line is how do you leave someone who says he loves you with all is heart and doesn't know what he will do without you? And, I cringe when he touches me and want to make love to me. I just don't want to hurt him.
