update on bi-polar bf...
Well, I will keep it short and to the point...
Things were going well... we had started therapy and I was really hopeful that he and I could make things work, then after one drunken night out with his friends, he returned home in a fit of anger.
In a matter of moments he was screaming and breaking things ( I have no clue where this came from and at one point asked him if he was on drugs... he said "no!" and his friends later confirmed that they did not suspect that drugs were in the picture.)
Any ways, he quickly became violent and physical with me... after 20 minutes of trying to get away (he held me from leaving and carried me back inside when I ran out of the house to my car.) I was able to escape and call the cops.
He was arrested and I have a restraining order on him. I moved out the following day and plan to never see this mad man again. I am so thankful that I left when I did and from this point on I will never go against my gut instinct! This has been a night mare but I am so relieved that I do not have to live another day on egg shells or frightened of "pushing his buttons". Lesson learned.
Thanks for listening!

I'm glad you're safe and doing what's best for you! (:

I didn't see your original post, but I'm just glad to see you got to live another day, period. So many women do not make it out of these situations alive. I am very glad to hear that you recognized the signs and got out of there ASAP. Never look back. I wish you the best going forward.
WOW!
Honey, run like hell -- and run to a therapist. YOu don't need any more boyfriends who are nuttier than squirrel poo.
Thank you all for your kind words and support.
It is not easy, but it is getting easier every day... which gives me a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. I do believe that "every thing happens for a reason" and I am so thankful that I have the chance to find out what that reason is.
Thanks again
Thank you for your response.
Your'e right, it was an excuse and it did not take more than a day for the truth to show... funny how things turn around so quickly like that...
Any how, I will most certainly continue weekly therapy. It definitely helps, especially when I start to feel guilty or begin to think that maybe I provoked this?... When in reality, I know that I did nothing wrong Tuesday night and this was bound to happen sooner than later. He apparently was a ticking time bomb.
This has been a huge eye opener for me, and I know that I have a long road to recovery. This website has been a huge outlet for me and I appreciate every one for helping me to see the reality. No one deserves to put up with an abusive partner... mentally, or physically.
