This is new to me so if anyone can give me any advice it will be greatly appreciated.
I have been dating this girl for several months now; it was one of those relationships that started with love at first site. We both knew we would end up marring the other. The relationship was going perfect, I mean perfect. We spoke every morning, every afternoon and evening. She’s was under some stress, so once to twice a week I would go to her place and have dinner ready for her. She would spend weekends with me and my children, we were always happy, not even one single disagreement. She kept telling me I was the love of her life and how wonderful, safe and comfortable she was with us. She said she needed that balance in her life. I guess it was too good to be true. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
She eventually told me she was bi-polar and on Depakote. One night we were siting talking about planning the wedding, the very next day I called her after work and she exploded on me, I mean did a complete 360. Every single thing that we had spoken about or done over the past months all of a sudden became a horrible experience for her. Relaxing at my place over a long weekend became holding her hostage and forced her to clean. Going shopping turned into forcing her to cook. She never spent a single dime, I covered everything except one day she took me to a movie for my birthday that turned into what a horrible person I was and a bad date since I made her pay for everything when I knew she had no money. She cut her finger cutting celery and we ended up in the ER. That episode turned into I was chasing her around the house with a knife and she put her hand up to defend herself. Five people were there and witnessed what really happened. I am now the most pathetic person in the world and she wishes me dead.
I know most of the responses would be “run”, but I’m not that kind of person. Is there anything I can do to help her? How long can this last? What can I do, I’m still crazy about her.
