I have found that my significant other is bipolar about our sex life. One night he's passionate and the next he pushes me away almost like he doesn't want me even in the room. One time he even mentioned he doesn't "get pleasure" from having sex, and that he doesn't like kissing. What is his problem? Anyone know?

Bi-polar ... What's his problem?
Bipolar...read about it, talk to the doctor, prepare yourself for the roller coaster...
I think you are using "bi-polar" as an adjective describing his behaviour and not as a medical diagnosis.
You are not describing a psychiatric condition but that he runs hot and cold with rapid cycles. If a partner said those things to me, he would likely be looking for another partner. Ask him what is going on.
This is a big problem. If you find you can't do much, you might want to change scenes. It is not worth being told he doesn't like kissing you/sex one day, then the other day he's fine. it's not okay.

i TOTALLY agree. I AM bipolar and was intrested in helping but after reading the post am quite agrivated that the label is being used incorrectly.:mad:
Anyways...back to the discussion...
You need a new man - one who enjoys sex!!!
As him this:
Does he not enjoy sex - OR - does he not enjoy sex WITH YOU ?
Stand up to him. He'll respect you for it, and hopefully you'll get the answers (and results) you want.
Orow - doesn't matter - either way - the relationship is done.
I don't know it's hard to say the relationship is done, I'm not sure if he's serious or not. Could I be wrong? I think he would have pulled the plug by now if he thought we were done for....... right?
Some people do not end relationships they just allow them to fail until the other walks out the door. I swear they cannot handle conflict!
From your posts, he is giving you serious doubts and no real conclusions. Read the sublime.
You are completly missinformed. My wife is bi-polar & on meds, this condition
does not just pop up here or there. It is a part of everyday life.
He has other issues or is hiding something from you!!
