Why is it inexcusable for a bf/gf/spouse/whatever to treat you like dirt repeatedly, but as soon as said lover is labelled "bipolar" we should all be so forgiving of their inability to love someone correctly?

It's total garbage. If you are that mentally unstable that you can't treat your loved ones with dignity and respect - you should be hospitalized indefinitely.
Note that I didn't say that all bipolars should be locked up...just the ones that have NO control over how much they hurt people.
