My life partner has Bipolar ii

My life partner has Bipolar ii

I unapologetically care for my husband who after a long mental health crisis has been diagnosed with Bipolar ii + more.

It is a tough gig at times but I believe we can live well in spite of his diagnosis.

I understand that not all relationships can survive a diagnosis and this is no criticism or judgement on anyone but in this thread I would love to give to and receive encouragement from others who hold the same value I have, that is that I voluntarily chose to remain in union with my husband to the exclusion of others and to ride out the bumps of his mental illness.

Dubious humour is guaranteed.

To balance ones perspective.... Europe is having a unprecedented heatwave at the 27 degrees ... on a stony beach !

I don't @Totman , if we were to do a bit more entertaining Iight be tempted but would probably just go for something simple like this

Or a table top version which are not too $$$.

Not sure how much something like this retails for, but the flame look is nice.

A decent outdoor table and chairs is well above a heater on the wish list.

I can tell you....after looking through the collection of outdoors heaters and lavish outdoor settings....

Its the closest I come to fainting after looking at the price tags... blimeyyyyyyyyy.... I need a wage rise !!!!! .

Cant say we have many guests... so Im opting for thicker socks and a red vs beer.... a touch warmer

P.S @Former-Member ... bally cant see your pics lol

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii

Pics take a while to upload @Totman , a moderator has to approve them. For reasons unknown some people get pics quickly after that, others do not sometimes taking 1/2 hour or so. They will appear eventually 😁.
