Dump Your Significant Jerk Day 2014: Am I looking to get dumped tomorrow?

Have you ever been dumped through a note,phone,email,text?

I was in a relationship once for a little over 7 months. Everything seemed to be going wonderful. Oh, by the way this was an adult relationship not a couple of kids dating. We had our usual family dinner scheduled for Christmas night at my brothers house. My boyfriend was invited. On Christmas Eve I spent the evening with him and his family; he and I then went to dinner alone. Christmas morning we drove in to my brothers house. Everyone had a wonderful time. One of my aunts baked a fresh pecan pie for my boyfriend. The morning after Christmas he called me on the phone (woke me up), and said, "Don't ever call me again". Then he hung up. Naturally I called him right back to see what the deal was. He wouldn't say much. So I just wrote him off as being not the right guy. Then in February for my birthday my phone rung at just after midnight. It was this guy calling saying he wanted to be the first to wish me a Happy Birthday. This really confused me. I mean don't call me and break up then hang up; then a couple of months later try to be nice. Later, after having problems in another relationship I spoke with one of my aunts who told me that on that Christmas day that I thought went so well something had happened. Apparently my brother and his wife had a moment alone with my boyfriend. They told him that they did not want him around. So, while I still feel that he was a coward for what he did; I do not totally blame him anymore. Now I try as best I can to keep my brother and his wife out of my relationships. It's hard though. I mean at gatherings where I am invited and bring a date they are going to meet whoever my significant other at the time happens to be. Of course, I haven't dated anyone in over four years for this reason. I just cannot seem to put restraints on my relationships like that. I don't want to have to hide my happiness because some of my family members act like jerks. I mean there's a thin line between family concern and unwanted over-protection.

Is being BIPOLAR-1 any excuse for dumping your significant other to "move in" with your ex?

RUN AWAY dear. Run away. He does not love you. He would not treat you this way if he did.

And being bipolar doesn't give him an excuse to be an a**hole.

RUN in the other direction!!!
