Bipolar Support Group

I couldn't have said it any better and feel so much like all of you and your husband puppylover. I'm also glad you brought this topic up puppylover.

My husband is bipolar and I'm codependent/ptsd.

It has been a few months since my husband and I have been intimate, but then I've had Bell's Palsy for about nine weeks (almost around the same time he was diagnosed with bipolar).

For years, my husband has complained that I don't initiate sex anymore. It's not that I don't like sex, but feel that intimacy and respect go hand in hand and if I'm not feeling the respect, oh well. I also do not withhold sex as a tool or weapon in some type of sick game if he initiates.

We are still in therapy and I'm hoping we'll be able to resolve it, but after today's session, I don't foresee that happening anytime soon in the future.

Hugs, Kisses and Sweet Dreams to all!!!

I wanted to add that since my husband is being medicated (hopefully the right meds), his moods have been more stable and he's coping better.

A part of me is excited and another is cautious.

What I'm trying to say is hang in there because it may take him a while before he feels more secure in your relationship...that's how I feel anyway...

Still hanginginthere!
