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.

Short visit to family in progress @Determined @outlander @Shaz51 @Sophie1 finding it difficult to relax as we always seem to be short of time, most of the family are hard work and have different expectations.

Shaz - Mum is getting a bit forgetful and has food in her fridge that has expired and is often misplacing things.

Back from our mini trip and Mr Darcy tells me he is clogged up (not surprised as he did not eat much in the way of fruit & veg).
