I think I forgot to clarify--I am (undiagnosed yet somewhat obviously) mildly bipolar. I think it all depends on how you feel about that person, the more you care, the more likely you are to put up with instability. If it's something dabilitating to you and/or your partner, think long and hard about it to say the least.

In my opinion no.

By unstable you mean "mentally ill" and if you are in a relationship with a sick person then one of you has to be the nurse a lot of the time.

Quite often once you build up the unstable person and get them over their condition and back to normal then they will move on to someone new anyway. They want a fresh start and a normal relationship as the power will always be fixed by that point. The Nurse is always in charge of you and you don't want that if you don't need it any more.

Be there for them, get them the medical help they need and once they are fixed up then date and have fun.

Good Luck!! xx

I think it depends HOW unstable. I'm a little unstable, but my bf puts up with it. If it could get dangerous or violent or degrading to you, think about that NOW, before you get together. Good luck!

I think it could if both parties try really hard at it. Then you look at it another way it is hard for one to carry all the load. I feel it makes a rift between both parties involved. i think in order to get a really good answer you would probaby need to be alittle more detail in your question. and example for instance. you kinda have to look at it from both sides. it could or it want. it all depends i think on the situation.
