HELP PLEASE

I need help from another point of view. My fiance and I are getting ready to start counseling which I am sure will help, but in the mean time, I need to know how to handle and deal with the effect on me of my fiance's bi polar disorder pluse mistrust issues. I have never cheated on him, but did lie to him about some things in the past. There has been nothing mistrusting or anthing in 9 months, but fiance cant let it go. He swears over and over that he has forgiven me, but it still eats at him that it happened to begin with. I dont know if he will ever trust again.
Anyways, with the mistrust issues, how does the bi polar disorder come into play, and other than he starting meds (which he just started) how do I deal with his mood swings where he is fine one minute, and loves me to death, but the next minute he is ready to call it quits and let go of me, my two girls, and our unborn baby? HELP PLEASE!!!

Thank you very much. That does help. Funny thing is he just told me the same thing last night. Basically he just needs me to be supportive and reassure him that I am not being unfaithful. I understand a lot more today after he and I talked last night, and I realized that with what I did 9 months ago is making it near impossible to trust me, so I am going to accept my mistake, and do everthing I can to be supportive and show him and prove to him that I love only him, and that I am being faithful and honest with him. It just hurts to know that my one mistake was enough for him to possibly mistrust me forever. Thanks again.

Well this is my opinion about the mistrust issues and how bipolar comes into play.  And this is coming from experience.  See when I get in one off my episode my mind starts racing and think about stuff that shouldn't really matter to me.  Does he go to talk therapy?  Well medicine and talk therapy really helped me.  I feel that you probably already do this but you should support him on his road.  I don't really know what to do with the mood changes.  Hell I don't know how people put up with me.  But again just show support for him.  And when the medicine starts helping him.  YOu will notice considerable changes.  I hope that kinda helps you out.  Sorry if it doesn't.
