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.

I know that @Shaz51, the reason I asked was you did mention though he was worried he could lose everything again.

Mr Darcy finds it hard to believe someone could love him.

Re: My life partner has Bipolar ii

@Former-Member @Shaz51 MsS often asks why I'm still with her and how can I love her when she is in her opinion useless 😢

I really can't imagine life not shared with MsS and am devoted to sharing my journey with her and optimising hers as much as I can point and prod and assist her without taking full responsibility all the time ... tho at times I have to and am happy to. .. consider it a privileged to protect and care for her when she is unable
