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.

We will @outlander but not quite the same.

I was wondering if you had heard but did not want to gently encourage you to follow up until the end of the month 😀.

After a few days of being in between houses, we are now in our new home, furniture to follow (vendors kindly left a few pieces to tide us over. )

I have lost my voice, Mr Darcy not helping, refusing to speak to my mum when I rang to tell her we had arrived. He is now whimpering on the bed.
