 No matter how hard you think it is to get out now, think of how much worse it could have been if you married her. Keep your head held high, know you did the best you could and walk away. You deserve better.

 Man, you are a damned fool. How dare you use this, "poor poor pitiful me",story to blame BPD as a scape goat for your stupidity. Did you need a damned house to fall on your head to see what was happening. She didn't do a thing to you that you didn't let her do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I resent the hell out of you blaming her behavior & your uncaring attitude on the Bipolar Disorder. If you were so easily "manipulated", what kind of idiot does that make you?????? It wasn't all about you. How the hell do you know what went on in her therapy sessions? Are you sure she wasn't trying to find a way to get rid of your sorry butt? Do you want to challenge us to tell a better story than you?????.....Well I tell ya what, buddy, we don't set around feeling sorry for ourseves.....like you!!!!!!! And you are quite wrong about the manipulator being the loser.......it's the ignorant fool that allowed it that gets bit in the ass.

 Gloria, was I a fool to stay and get shit on for as long as I did? Yes, I was. You nailed it. But I did stay and try to help someone who has a serious mental illness. Hopefully no one will be as dumb as I was and do the same for you.

Hi Gloria. Just read about your divorce and long list of mental and physical health problems and all I can think of saying is...GOOD.-

Betrayed......you are one sorry soul!!!!I know this is exactly how you treated "HER", too. You are a simpleton who thinks he is better than others. I don't care who she is or what she did, she still didn't deserve you! How lucky that she got away!!

 What is sad is that we can't walk away from this illness. People have lost custody of their children, divorced, lost everything material that they own. Many people with mental illness are wandering the street with no treatment, no support, and are homeless.

This is hideous disease, as people can't see the disability it can cause. Yet they have absolutely no problem holding you accountable. Bipolar disorder is considered a severe mental illness for a reason. It can make life extremely difficult.

Your hurt is understandable and that is fine, not all significant others are going to be able to handle being married to someone that has a severe mental illness. It is much better to find that now then down the road.

I wish you luck in finding your perfect mate. However this doesn't seem to be the one.

 Wow, you were there the entire time? You have no idea what I tried to do for this person. How I tried to get her into treatment when she was in her extreme manic phases and didn't even want to take her medicine. How I was there to pick her up off the bathroom floor when she cut her wrists. All you can think to do is read my posts and attack. Something I would never do. You're a class act Gloria.

 Anyway. Just like when you get in your car and start driving, it's only a matter of time until you find an asshole. Sure didn't take me long to find her on this site. But, to EVERYONE else who has responded with nice, kind, supportive things to say... I thank you for your words. They are very helpful in this tough time.

 Betrayed,

As I read the message to Gloria, I would say that yes there are assholes on this site.....

I will agree with Gloria, you stayed and took all that this lady was willing to hand you. I don't agree with that being part of her Bipolar disorder. I am bipolar, but never cheated in the 25 years that I was married. Nor did I follow, hunt down, or slice my wrist for attention.....

She knew how to manipulate you and you walked right into it. Sorry that you can't see that.

Now as far as finding one that will love and cherish you, you need to get be healthy and set healthy boundaries whether the person is "ill" or "normal".

As for the message to Gloria, I would say that a person that would be glad to hear of someone being mentally or physically ill has some issues that they should be dealing with. If you are the definition of being "Normal", I don't want to be that.....
