Oh, as far as him being bipolar, I doubt it, he sounds like an abusive jerk.  Anger is a symptom in men but not to the point of being abusive to others unless they are already abusive people.  Was he raised in an abusive home?  More times than not it is a learned behavior

BREAK IT OFF.  I had an abusive husband that I left when it got bad enough that he put a gun to my head.  Being bipolar is NO EXCUSE for being abusive.  LEAVE HIS BUTT!!!!

Listen!!!!    Forget trying to figure out what he has! He has a problem, what it is he has to figure out. Never accept anyone hitting you! Period. I divorced my ex who was a controller. He started getting physical with me. It doesn't stop on it's own , it usually gets worse! I'm still 8 years later dealing with his obsession with me. But, we have two children together so I can't avoid him.I do however mange to keep it to the bare minimum for the sake of my son. It's unhealthy.
Everyone is right! If you leave him and he gets worse you have to get a restraining order!
You have to not accept someone laying their hands on you. No person deserves that!  You are not married to him so at least breaking it off won't keep you tied to him through kids or alimony ect. Do not make excuses for him! Or try to find a reason to justify his behaviors. You are worthy of respect! Please try to protect yourself!

I agree!  Whether he is bipolar or not, he is an ABUSER and you must get away from him quickly.  If he "goes crazy" when you try to leave him, that is his problem, not yours.  Perhaps he is just trying to get your attention or make you feel guilty when he acts crazy like that.  In any case, you must think of yourself first and remove yourself from that dangerous situation at once!
Hugs,

Get a restraining order!  You are in serious danger here.  If he's not willing to get help, or go to anger management counseling, you need to get away from him before it's too late.  Bipolar or not, you don't deserve to be hit and it can only get worse.  At least file the abuse with authorities.  You need to have the abuse documented for future
