The Good... The Bad.. and The Ugly.. LOL

I don't know exactly why it is... maybe it's just from the nature of His Bi-polar Disorder, I don't know... but sometimes it's like He's a TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSON when He suddenly begins to act so Sweet towards Me. When He acts the Way I've always wanted Him to behave from the beginning, I barely know how to react because I know His Darker Side all too well.Plus, I know how quickly His Darker Side can come out.... literally at a moment's notice sometimes. So lately, since He's been so Nice, and so Sweet towards Me, I feel like I'm in a different reality almost. It's very hard for Me to accept that it's truly Real, because I know that under that " Nice " surface somewhere lurks His Ugly Dark Side ! Of course, there is the distinct possibility that He uses His Bi-polar Disorder as a " Crutch ", or an " Excuse ", for His RAGE ! I think He does this often, since there have been many times that I've seen that He knows clearly what He's done... and that's it's WRONG - unlike when He's been in a True " Blackout " RAGE where He doesn't even realize what He's doing or saying, and later doesn't even remember it ! So I just don't know. It's very clear that He does have some sort of Personality Disorder, but to what exact extent, I don't know. I wish I did, but I'm not a Psychologist. Even IF I was, I think I'd have been a Psychology Professor to figure Him out ! LOL Living with My Bf is like living with More than One Person, because of His Moods.It's definitely NOT boring, that's for sure... since Every Morning there's no telling " WHO " You're going to be dealing with that Day ! Yet... Somehow I've been hanging on for dear Life, riding this Rollercoaster Ride.The UPS can be WONDERFUL ! I just WISH the DOWNS weren't SO TERRIBLE !!!!! He's never said that He's been diagnosed with Split Personality Disorder - and I think I even read a Psychology Report somewhere that read that a lot of Psychologists dispute that that Disorder even exists.... ( I think it exists ) - , but I wonder if He has that Disorder. I guess I'll never really know UNTIL... OR even IF... He gets the Help He needs.BUT... the KEY that I need to remember is that I MUST take care of MYSELF, and NOT allow Him to put My LIFE in Danger because of His RAGE ! I tell Myself this a LOT, and yet... time and again, He's still ended up hurting Me ! WHY do I let it continue ? I wish I could understand that. I feel almost ashamed that I haven't thrown Him out of My Life yet. I wish I could shut up the Voice of My Heart.... because it keeps telling Me to hang onto HOPE, and the ONE DAY things will be Better ! Well... a LOT of DAYS have come and gone... and STILL Things aren't really Better... in fact, in some Ways they're much Worse ! So What NOW ????? I don't know yet. I know in my Mind what I SHOULD DO, but My Heart wants OTHER THINGS ! So many times I wonder IF things would be EASIER if only I could say that I HATE HIM, since I know by all rights.... I'd have every right to say those words... AND YET... despite Everything, I still Love Him. WHY does LOVE have to be so Awkward sometimes  ????

It\'s called a honeymoon period, honey. Every abusive relationship has one. And it\'s so awful, because it deceives you into hoping that this time it\'ll last, and everything\'ll be okay. Remember, sweetling, you deserve real love!
