How many discards before you gave up on your SO?

Needing Encouragement

Hi. I'm usually just a quiet lurker in this group. My BF and I have been together for 6 months. We live 3 hours apart and recently went on our first holiday together. A few weeks before that, he discarded me for the first time. Only to confess a bit later that he's BP1 (medicated). He came out of his depressive phase during our holiday which really wasn't what I had hoped for, I felt lonely even with him present. I spent some of the time on my own as he didn't want to leave the Airbnb. So I ventured out alone while he stayed behind and played online games for hours on end.

And just today, after telling him that I would like us to text good morning and good night every day, he discarded me again. Told me to "just go away then" and to "never speak to [him] again".

I love this man. But I'm also feeling like I'm falling apart.

So my question basically is: How many times have you been discarded before you threw in the towel?
