He has never been diagnosed, not that i know of, but some of his behavior drove me crazy. When we first started sating he was a dream.. polite, a gentleman, kind hearted, smart, friendly, funny, everyone loves him..the whole package. I really thought I found the one, everything was going great. Three months into our relationship he admitted he was in love with me and totally smitten. He would introduce me to his family as "the girl he was going to marry"..ya..intense..but then a few months later he was acting distant and unhappy with his life not knowing what he wanted. Then back to being in love with me, then back to being distant again. We have broken up for the second time, his doing, because he "doesn't want to be in a relationship"..is this a kind of manic behavior? How can someone have such strong feelings about you and make serious promises then switch them off so suddenly? Reply to this Question

 either he's manic depressive or he doesn't ever mean the promises and words he said to begin with. that's how it'd be easy for him to shut it off.
there's no telling what's really going on with him. but it is weird to tell someone all of those things then change your mind the next day.
my suggestion is to stay broken up with him. clearly he is unstable or just flat out a very confused individual. dont' take him back if he comes back to you. and when and if he does, tell him the reason why you won't take him back. see if he can explain his behavior in a way that actually makes logical sense.
people are so weird. lol.

Only he really knows that. Doesn't sound like bipolar though in all honesty. I hope you move on and soon find someone more consistent. It's unsettling being in this kind of situation.
Best of luck x
