I know exactly what you mean. My partner and I split up last year, but throughout the relationship I either was so passionate about him or couldn't stand him! I think my mood swings confused the hell out of him and among other factors, caused the relationship to break down. I hope the next time I'll be a little more aware and try not to let it interfere, but who knows? Surely if someone loves me they should love all of me and not just the nice bits?
