My bipolar girlfriend of 2 years have left me. She moved out about 6 weeks ago (we tried to make it work living apart) with a single female who was very much about the single independent lifestyle. I know she is not great with her medication also and is easily influenced by her immediate surroundings.
The first 18 months of our relationship was near perfect, it was fun, sex almost daily, engaging, adventurous, an emotional bond and connection that was so close, people envied us, they thought we had been together for years. It was easy, euphoria, , we were lovers, best friends it was just great.
Until she brought up the idea of moving out 6 months ago. This made me insecure in the relationship, I begged and pleaded and tried to come up with ways we could make it work which allowed her to get that sense of freedom and independence she was after. But in the end she wouldn’t have it and I eventually accepted that she wanted to move out. It was hard and it wasn’t perfect but I did love and support her in this decision and she promised me she would try and make it work. Note, I am seeing a therapist about controlling behaviour I displayed during this few months (it’s related to a fear of loss and grief due to the suicide of 2 close friends of mine).
The day she moved out, it’s like she changed completely as a person. She made no effort in the relationship, she was cold, distant and just didn’t care about the relationship anymore, despite my efforts to make the relationship work. She told me she was just shut off and didn’t care about the relationship anymore.
I have no idea what to do? How can we have had what we had, to her completely shutting off within a matter of days and completely changing as a person.
I am so lost, so confused and so hurt.
