Hello I am married with two kids. My husband is bipolar and drepressed. It was 2 months before our wedding when he reached out for help. And like you all know the road has not been easy. Every day is a struggle for us, with me saying I was leaving. But I don't want anyone but my husband and try to embrace his sickness and help us move forward. I guess I'm reaching out for help now

I usually know when my husband is going manic. But now it seems he's changing it up in me and I'm struggling to deal!! This last stint has me physically ill!! He went on some **** sites and a dating site, well he had to call me because the bank canceled his bank card!! He tried to erase the emails, but I saw them anyways!! He's trying to tell me this is how he acted out this time!! I just don't know what to do anymore

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband actions. What he did was wrong and he knows it, don't let him blame his bi-polar that is a cop out if you ask me. Being I have bi-polar even when in a manic state I know what I'm doing. He knew what he was doing, and knew it was wrong that is why he tried to hide it from you. No wonder your confused, but don't let him use his diagnoses of being bi-polar to do things that are obviously wrong.

Hello sadandout,

Welcome to the forum! :-)

I am sorry for what you are currently going through. Dealing with a partner with Bipolar can be tough as well. Is your husband in therapy or using meds for his Bipolar and depression? I would suggest he visit a doctor to get a diagnosis and treatment. Both meds and therapy can help. However, the person must want this help and must take the steps to get this help.

Coping with their moods can be tough. Please remember to take care of yourself at the same time.

I do hope that things will get better for the both of you.
We are here for you!

Hi as a wife with bipolar , Am hard to handle for my husband he gets the worse, i know what am doing, its the emotionally outburst that is not controlled able, and I have grandiose ideas, and yes sometimes my sexually drive is in overdrive at times or i dont want it. Try listen to him and watch for triggers. Sometimes I just want him to listen to me, but he always has answers, to everthing I say which upsets me, so sometimes just let them talk, find a support group for you both, one for you and one for him, but dont live in fear, do your part no one can ask any more then that. Good luck
