The Unexpected Benefits of a Bipolar Relationship
Briefly

Bipolar disorder can be hard on romantic relationships. It's difficult enough to negotiate the twists and tricks of intimacy without the invisible saboteur of mental illness getting in the way.
Trust requires consistency and a certain amount of predictability. You may fall asleep with a quiet, kittenish woman-only to find that overnight, she's transformed into a tigress.
Hypersexuality is one of the most difficult manic symptoms to manage-you don't intend to be unfaithful, and you certainly don't want to hurt your partner.
The pain and vulnerability experienced in bipolar disorder can enhance feelings of empathy for a partner, fostering deeper emotional intimacy.
