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.

@Shaz51Are you having a few "what if" thoughts? I think I might have a couple lurking too but am trying to keep them at bay. Mr D has some pain & associated anxiety happening here. I know I have a bit of general moving stress too.

On that note I did contact another acquaintance and met her for coffee at a garden centre café, she enjoys gardening and we had a lovely time looking around the plants after.
