Is it wrong to break up with someone because they have bipolar depression?

Question

Keep in mind that his bipolar depression contributed to the emotional abuse in our relationship

Answer

If you can't handle it and be supportive, then you should leave. You need to be happy in the relationship too.

Answer

Of course not.

If you aren't happy in a relationship, you are under no obligation to stay.
If someone is hurting and abusing you, you should definitely leave, especially if that person has a mental health issue and is not actively seeking help.

Answer

If you can't handle it then leave, you are the most important person in your life so if you feel like either you're in danger from them or yourself (if their behaviour is effecting your mental state) then you should get out. Don't be afraid of being to "weak" to handle it, because that's a lot of stress to deal with.

Answer

Leaving someone just because they have bipolar disorder is a bit shit imo. Many people have bipolar disorder which is kept under control and they live normal lives.  
If the bipolar disorder isn't controlled and that is leading to abuse or other behaviour that you can't (and shouldn't)  live with then by all means leave. But do it because of the behaviour and not just because the person has an illness.

Answer

Crap, I voted wrong. I think it's wrong to break up with someone just because they have a mental illness but I voted before I saw the emotional abuse. Never stay with anyone who abuses in any form.

Answer

If you can't handle it and he's not willing to take medication and try to control it then get out ASAP! But if he's trying new medications and doing everything in his power to keep you, I think you should atleast stand by him and try. If it's just not there and your not happy, then leave but atleast give him a chance to try.

Answer

No, it's not wrong. You need to put yourself first.

Answer

You can break up with someone for absolutely any reason. You know what you want in a partner and you know what you can handle. Be with someone who makes you happy.

Answer

If it is negatively affecting the relationship in some way, then I could understand leaving the person. But people can't help having any type of mental illness, so to leave just because they have it is kinda cold hearted.

Answer

Depends. Are they trying to make it better? Are they taking medication? Are they seeing s therapist? If they are actually trying to better themselves I'd try to stick around but if you are constantly getting hurt you do have to put yourself first. Mental illness causes tricky situations in relationships :/
