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.

Last of S2's birthday guests have just left here,

Each of his little friends have such lovely manners so that made it eaiser.

Hope the movies were enjoyable @Former-Member,

Yes the party was good @Former-Member, despite all the noise S2 has such lovely friends, 2 boys 1 girl came, seems they are the oddbods at school that stick together, each with their own problems that they look past and support each other in. What true friendships are built on.

the lunch party was nice @Former-Member, I met more of mr shaz` relations , had chinese for lunch

there were only a few issues like Mr shaz family members sat together not interacting with others

my SIL had to keep bringing up that we went to the wrong chinese restruant and i had to text her

and mr shaz family were ready to leave after 2 hours , but it was nice and I met his cousins who I am friends with on FB
