Hi everyone,
I have a question. This is my first relationship, so I'm a little confused on whether or not I am overreacting.
I have been in a long distance relationship for a year, with a man who is bipolar. Today, I was feeling upset so I went to him to seek advice. We work in the same job field, and always mentions that I am inferior and bad at my job. He told me for subjects he is better at, he will always talk to me as an inferior. Today I mentioned that I felt untalented and he responded with: "Well, I am more talented than you". He also told me: "If doing nothing solves problems, then go for it, otherwise do s**t" --> his response to my extreme depression right now. He also claims our relationship problems are due to Asperger's, and told me that if I never told him, he would have broken up with me a long time ago.
I don't know--do all relationships have these issues, or is this abuse? Am I overreacting?
Yes, it sounds abusive. I don't think that he can use bipolar as excuse for that behaviour. I wouldn't stay in it.
