I blow up on my boyfriend so much that he has finally had it with me. After this last fight when I showed up @ his house screaming with a baseball bat and crying, he said one more fight and we are over. He loves me so much and knows I have been diagnosed with BPD and Bipolar disorder, that is why he is so patient with me, and he has even said that if he ever has to leave me, it is not b/c he wants to, but because he has to for his own health, and its a lose lose for him, b/c he loves me so much that leaving me would destroy him, but staying in a relationship with my abuse would too. I just got put on the medication Lamictal for my bipolar dis. 2 days ago, and he said that he wants to wait to see if the medicine helps me to not be so explosive, but I am so scared that it won't work, that I will start a fight over nothing all over again, and lose the love of my life, the best thing that has EVER happened to me. He is so loving, so faithful, so responsible. He makes me want to be a better person, and all Ido is tear him down, especially b/c I get so jealous about his job working as a bartender at a night club, but I know in my heart he would never cheat, but that doesnt stop me. I have such a strong fear of abandonment that it is painful. Please help. What should I do?

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
I have the same problem and what the major thing for me was that I made my life about him. I needed to find myself and believe in myself and to know that i have a life outside of him. We still ocassionally fight but i don't get so out of control. We went a month with out seeing eachother and I focused on myself and my recovery. I still now try to focus on myself before our realtionship. The thing I learned about good relationships is that both people have somewhat of a seperate life but at the end of the day are one. If that makes sense at all? Try it, it sounds like he wants you too get better so he will stick by you through this.
