“My mom gets mad at me for yelling at my boyfriend”

Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 2 years. Our anniversary is the end of February. We have had some major problems, I have bipolar disorder and used to get really mad and even yell at him over stupid shit. I wouldn’t call it abuse, but it definitely wasn’t nice. He stole money from a friend’s grandmother. His friend not mine. He got mad over a Facebook post and left for four days and wouldn’t tell me where he went. He told me 6 months later that he cheated on me.

That was a year ago. I stayed because I love him and I honestly feel that he will try to be better and so far he has. He has been honest with me this far. He told me the night he stole the money, he told me about cheating. I never had to find anything out from someone other than him. It’s been a rocky road. I want to marry him despite all of the stuff I just wrote. I love him and I trust that he is doing all he can to be a better person. Continue reading

“My bipolar meds killed my sex drive”

In the beginning of my relationship with “Dan,” I was hyper-sexual. I wanted sex all day, everyday. This killed Dan, as he is not an overly sexual person at all. He doesn’t want sex very often and usually is in the mood only once a week.

Just two months ago, I was diagnosed as bipolar. I’m now medicated and am no longer overly sexual. To be honest, I have pretty much lost my entire sex drive.

I didn’t think this was a problem at first, but just last night, Dan said to me it was affecting his self-confidence. Because previously I was all over him, and now all I want to do is cuddle.

I honestly don’t know what to do. Please help.
