DearJames,
Will my twin flame be able to overcome the issue he has with me being Bipolar so that we can marry?
Desiree
Dear Being Bipolar,
The greater question to ask is will you?
At issue here is your belief that he is the only one that must overcome an issue so that you can marry. You too have issues of acceptance to address in order to marry. Acceptance and transcendence of any issue is a two-way street.
To think that you are free from responsibility or accountability in this walk down the aisle renders the writing on the wall immediately. You may not be able to eradicate your disorder, however, you do have the opportunity and self-responsibility to seek treatment avenues that will assist you in managing it better.
That, for you alone, goes a long way towards improving your day-to-day life and livelihood. Your significant other will see the commitment you are making to and with yourself, your overall wellbeing, and by default reap the benefits. This act alone sets the tone and stage for a whole new “you.”
Fear plays a pivotal role in our lives. The energy of fear acts as either a catalyst to propel us forward or a larger-than-life bogeyman that immobilizes us, keeping us stagnate and hiding in place. Fear that you have not done all that you can to address your Bipolarism is playing a huge role here. Thus, his reluctance to commit.
Both of you need to hit the pause/reset button on this matter and your desired nuptials so success can be achieved. Feelings of entitlement, anger, and resentment need to be countered with patience, respect, and verifiable action. You need only be as committed to discovering a mutually satisfactory solution as you are to marrying your twin flame.
The horse must proceed the cart for this relationship to go anywhere more meaningful. If maintaining the status quo is your answer to this situation then you may be waiting a very long time to receive a proposal of marriage with him.
Make the commitment you want with him, first with yourself. Reinvestigate the many treatment options that are available to you. Engage him in the process. By sharing your treatment journey with him, you allow him to be a part of the solution. You allow him a better understanding of the issues you face and thus the opportunity to see and understand things from a different perspective.
If he’s truly your twin flame, he’ll rise to the occasion and if he’s not, he will simply vanish from the equation. Regardless, your efforts will not have been made in vain as you will stand upon an entirely stronger, more stable foundation moving forward. One that will more effortlessly support you and the life you desire.
Either way, you owe it to yourself to reexamine the entirety of the situation.
