I need advice. My boyfriend is bipolar and he treats my really well and I feel so loved by him. He does take his meds and he has been very transparent about everything. Is this a good sign for the future because we will be getting married soon. I won't leave him because I love him so much but I just want to be prepared so I can be a source of strength and not more stress.

Hi Melisa, It would be a good idea for you to look into support groups in your area. Self care is also very important. Taking action on these things BEFORE marriage will give you good information about how he may respond to you getting the support you will need. I understand you love him and he's important, but you're important too. Take care.

People are so ignorant when it comes to bipolar disorder like they put us down and make it seem like we can just make it go away. Believe me ive tried. My uncle is, my grandma is and my mom is. My grandma and my mom are in complete denial so they try to hide it. I know that I have those signs too. I am not going to sit around and be ashamed of who I am anymore just cuz others cant understand me.

Thank you for your channel. Great video! I can relate to many of the things they talked about :)

They don’t “ work”. The non bipolar spouse just decides to take the mental abuse and mistreatment for the sake of the kids or other various reasons

[@YoungHungryy]

JohnnyRebKy not necessarily true, my wife’s bipolar, we have no kids and we’ve been married over 7 years

[@JohnnyRebKy]

YoungHungry Let her stop taking her meds for awhile and see what happens. And I was with mine for 10 years

[@Chrisstarpromo]

I know what you mean. It can be very difficult. My spouse has left me and got with another man in less than a week. She has never accepted her diagnosis. It takes a toll but I am hoping for the best.

[@andreigardvs6438]

@@Chrisstarpromo Sorry for the question. Did your spouse back? I've been in the same situation for almost a year now.

[@Chrisstarpromo]

@@andreigardvs6438 it was a horrible couple of months. I thought she was gone forever. It was like she was a completely different person. I cried and endured much pain. I eventually started to accept she may be gone. I focused on me. She eventually came back around. I took her back and it has been a good 5 months so far. Seems like she is back to herself. I don't know what the future holds but I am hopeful. Someone said they been married for 7 years with a spouse with the illness. So a happy successful relationship is possible. I attribute the turn around to daily prayer and focusing on myself. Good luck

I wonder how many household objects have been broken over his head.
