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.

flexibility is a key strength to have as a carer!--- oh yes @Ali11 , @Former-Member

you really need flexibility or else

it is not easy at times when things need to be done , but if you are kind of organized and ready for the unexpected , you are not surprised

Haha, well played @Former-Member, being stretched is a good point to add, maybe also bouncing back?

Feeling a little disappointed as it looks like our house sale is not going to go through. Looks like the purchaser will not be able to secure finance.
