Hello. . .19/f here with a problem...
I met this guy about 2 months ago. We've already had sex, and we act like a couple to an extent. . spending a lot of time with each other, kissing/cuddling/ect, talking on the phone for hours... He has told me that he cares for me and loves me.
He's afraid to be in a relationship, though, because his last (very serious) girlfriend cheated on him with his brother and is now pregnant with his brother's baby. He doesn't trust anyone. He has admitted to me, though, that he holds back some of his feelings for me.
Some days, he's very sweet to me and wants to be around and is very affectionate. Other days, he's kind of cold and shuts me out a little bit. Either way, he wants to hang out; it's just the way he acts around me that varies.
He has bi-polar disorder. I'm begining to think that maybe this disorder, although medicated, is making him act this way.
So these are my questions.
1. Does anyone have manic depression/bi-polar disorder? If you do, can you tell me how this disorder effects your social skills?
2. I want to be in a relationship with him, but I don't know how to help him take that extra step to trust me. He says "I love you, but i'm not in love with you. I don't think I could be in love with anyone." How can I help him stop holding back?
I'll rate you highly if you at least try to help.
Thanks. (link)

I'm very sorry that you are having this trouble. I wish I could offer more advice than this, but I can't.
I'm not bi-polar or have manic depression, but I do know a couple people that are and I have some experiences with some pretty strange people.
I can tell you though that with time, he'll begin to trust you and he wont hold back any longer.
If you stick with it, it's gonna be hard, but if you love him, it'll be worth it.
I'm sorry that I couldn't give better advice, I hope what I said can help a little in some way.
