2 months ago I left.
Seriously bipolar situation that I couldn't endure any longer.
Went to counseling with her and finally brought it up at the 6th session, that she wasn't taking her meds, would sit and cry and didn't know why, would sometimes not talk for days on end because of something I said or did or thought, that was the last the last session.
Asked her to please take her meds, she refused.
The constant bouncing between I Love You and I don't know if I Love You because you don't agree with me had me drained.
I gave fair warning that there is a time when people lose faith and go away and it was happening to me,,,
If I disagreed, I "didn't love her" , "never loved her" , "wasn't happy".
2 months,,,
Her gf calls me, she sends countless emails, she mails me letters, she texts me. They all bounce between love, hate, sorrow, cursing.
I replied to the secong email saying that I was sorry, that while I cared for her as a person, I could no longer be with her and hoped she would seek help. That is the last time I communicated with her. It still doesn't stop. 2 texts between love and hate and an email yesterday morning. What is really bad is that I can tell that she's drinking and it shows in the texts and email.
I know that if I make any kind of contact, she will misinterpret it and it will be a downward spiral,,,
this sucks,,,

Bipolar...really rough to manage a relationship when one or both suffer from that, either take the punches or leave. No one really likes to take those kinds of punches...

I feel you on this one my friend change your number and email or block her

I really hope she gets the help she needs and yes, I agree, not answering the email is probably best for you....good luck and hope everything turns out well for you both.

YIKES!!! I hope there was no marriage or child involved.
If her friend was a real friend, she wouldn't be allowing herself to be used as a conduit to you. She'd be keeping this gal on the straight and narrow. But, nobody has control over her except herself and she chooses to be a loose cannon.
I hope this will all go away for you soon. What a terrible situation to be in.

been their done that.it has been almost 5 years ago we broke up. i cant ever get rid of mine tell the child turns 18.she has new boyfriend no 7 job 7 house 7. and just the other day she asked for some of her stuff she forgot 5 years ago.me i dont talk to her she does not have my cell no.her email i say i check into that.all voice mails i use in court and emails. and every time i go to court the judge shows her love even though she has admitted to 3 mental disorders.hang in their just walk away.

This will continue most likely unless you take steps to stop it. You can choose for this to be n your life or you can end it.

It's up to you. It is sad, but you are choosing it for the time being.

Move on. Cut all ties.

Some of us don't have this problem.

Unfortunately, it sounds like all you can do is continue to not respond to her. It's a sad situation but until she, herself, realizes that she needs help, there's nothing you can do. Good luck to you

Just saying "move on" doesn't acknowledge the pain you feel. Yet, that is what you need to do. It sounds as though you want to deal with a person in a rational manner and she is (without the meds) is unable to.

You refer to her as "the ex"...but ex what? SO or wife? If she keeps harassing you...get a restraining order.

Best of Luck to you.

Please clarify this for me as I am confused,,,
Are you saying I should get a restraining order to "end it"?
What if that is what pushes her over the edge? To be cold in not replying is one thing but to orchestrate a meltdown is sadistic...

My goof,,, ex GF or SO, no children
as for the R O, I can refrain from it as long as my fingers work well enough to click delete, push decline on the phone but I guess if she were to start making the trek up here, I'd have to go that route,,,

and everyone else,,, thanks,,, I just needed to vent,,,

I am saying if her communications are unwanted, tell her so. If she continues, and you are distressed by her contacting you, get a restraining order. There are consequences in life. She chose to stop taking her medications. You are NOT responsible for any choices she makes. Of course, the alternative is she keeps contacting you. That is your choice. You can also change yout e-mail and phone number.

My son's father is bipolar. And I have worked in mental health.

If you are done with the relationship and have no ties with her such as children, make it clear that it is over. Tell her those exact words or 'I don't want to be in a relationship with you anymore. Do not contact me anymore!' You have to be clear or she will keep contacting you. Once you do that, if she still continues.... don't answer the the phone, email, etc. And I am sure those messages will get nasty just ignore it. If you think she will do something drastic like threaten suicide, just call the police and tell them.

Good Luck!
