My boyfriend is bipolar and I don't know how to handle it. I love him but the way he is always on/off takes a toll on me. I asked him to seek professional help, but he refuses. I explained to him how it makes me feel, but instead of agreeing to seek help he gives me a free "out" on the relationship.

This took me by surprise. We have been together for 3 years, I would have thought that he would seek the help at least for my sake.
Apparently I am wrong, and that hurts a lot.

I am thinking to take the out, since he refuses to get the help. Its just, a lot to take in i guess.

He mentioned that he will get help on his OWN time, not when i ask or any other time.
Idk if he is just saying that to get me to shut up about the subject, or if he is serious. Part of me thinks that he will always use that excuse to never seek help.

Maybe I am looking at this the wrong way, I don't know anymore.
Should I leave since he gave me the out, or should I stick with it since he gave me the possibility that he will go on his *own* time.
