There isn't enough information here for us to decide whether or not you are actually bipolar as your fiance claims...it's entirely possible he is mistaken. That being said, you and him need to get deep down to the roots of this conflict. What is really causing it? Are you frequently becoming enraged over small things? How about him? What role does he play here?
Everyone to one degree or another is a pop psychologist, and bipolar disorder is NOT something to label someone with offhand. I would suggest the both of you see a counselor together before jumping into labeling you with a mental illness.
If you do decide to get professional help, make sure it is from someone genuinely trustworthy and be ready for second opinions. Some are professionals, others pill-pushing shills. Be cautious, but open-minded.
