I dont, but ive done some research, my fiance , he is always mad, hes always yelling and screaming hateful things at me, i dont want to just give up on him, weve been together for almost 2 yrs and we have a child together and im pregnant again. To him its like hes always mad because things just never seem to go right or his way, hes not seen a doctor but im trying to find a solution to help him. Hes slowly tearing our family apart, and it seems like everyone in his family is the exact same way, what explanations can explain this behavior and what can i do to help him change? please help, i dont know how much longer i can handle the things hes saying to me and my children, i love him but if this is something that cant be helped, i love him enough to let him go for my familys sake….

That doesnt sound like bipolar to me. Bipolar illness (once called manic depression) is a mood disorder. Google bipolar and they will give you a list of twelve symptoms. See if he has those symptoms. My son had all of them plus some not even mentioned. Good luck. I wish you the best.

What you are describing sounds much more like aggression issues and anger management problems than bipolar disorder. Bipolar is about mood swings, not constant anger. Although some with bipolar display anger during certain manic states, it’s not constant. If I was you, I’d give him an ultimatum, get into therapy and an anger management class or I’ll leave the relationship, and I’d mean it. You may be willing to put up with the abuse despite the significant harm that it is causing you psychologically (and possibly physically), but you need to start thinking about your children. A volatile and hostile father is no way for a kid to grow up. It causes damage that often cannot be undone. In fact, the root cause of your bf’s problems may be just that. JMO
