 Welcome, zapitolove. I suggest you read through the threads here -- lots of us have bipolar husbands, me included. Mine left me about 3 months ago in the midst of a manic state (off his meds) for a woman he met online.

What's your story?

 I am so sorry, this is my fear that my husband keeps telling me that we need to separate and that he needs to be alone. He assured me that he does not have someone else and that it is something that he needs to do, but I think it is the worst possible thing he can do because of his bad judgement and I am just very afraid for him and for my self as well.

 Zapitolove, welcome to the group. I know you were asking for spouses of a husband with bipolar, will the spouse of a wife with bipolar be OK too?

Your post refered to sepperation, I am attaching a link to a thread named "why do bipolars run from the ones they love" from over in the BP Support forum. Take a look at it and see if it helps in understanding the mindset.

GOD BLESS

 Thank you Red, I did read it and thought, pretty interesting. Fighter, I think you should keep fighting and be on your best behavor so that he has never ever nothing bad to say about you and as he remebers you he remembers an excellant wife that you are. I really don't have to know you to know that you are that wife, just knowing that you have kids an are dealing with a person who has challenges is good enough to know that you are giving your best, hang in there, there is a frase that says after the storm the calm is sure to follow, be patient, it will come. As for me I live day by day, I try not to look to much ahead and try not to look into what he says to much, even though it can be very hurtful but I am not giving up on him.

 jeffdavis, I really want things to work out, BELIEVE ME I DO! but he is giving up. The lastest is....he is sleeping on the couch because he says that he is trying to be true to his feelings and he feels there is no love there anymore and he wants me to get used to the fact that one day he won't be there anymore, and yes the first day it hurt very much, but i let it go and thought if this is what he wants ...so be it, i will not cause anyone to have a bad night but now we are in the 3rd day of this situation and i just hope and pray that he stops this because he is acting as if we were roomates instead of a couple.

 Hi, Zapit!

My husband and I have been married for over 23 years. He has bipolar disorder. I'm here if you need to talk.
