Separated at 42
It looks like my partner of 8 years would like to separate. To be fair, I broke up with her recently in a manic fit. I tried to apologize but it’s a bit late. She thinks for 6-12 months maybe. No promise what will happen before, during or after. I want her to get what she needs, but I feel like I’m losing time with her. It’s hard to reconcile that she needs to be away from me.

Hey there. If I'm inferring correctly, are you dealing with bipolar, given the mania? If so, I would have to imagine that your partner has known about your condition for some time?
She has vaguely but we didn’t talk much about it. It also wasn’t so apparent or destructive. We were struggling and the mania kind of became problematic. So while she understands I didn’t really mean it, there was enough bad stuff in the past that she can’t get over it right now.
im just trying to work on myself so someone wants to be with me. I hope we can try again, but it’s out of my hands.
