My wife recently started treatment for bipolar, which for the last 9 days seems good. In her last manic cycle, we made plans to split, which she was OK with (she wanted find herself). Then for 2 months I planned my new life. The last few years, we've had lots of fights, and challenging of each others ability to acurately judge things; even simple, stupid things. We share some, but few common interests, and have very different temperments. She was raised by her mother, who is BP 2. She is typically high-energy, which wears me out, and highly chatty. She also has sayings, habits and social views that set my nerves on edge, and a habit of seeing the negative side of things.
Now with treatment, she's trying to save our marriage, by being "too understanding". I don't know how much of her past behaviour was due BP or just personality. I know she'll revert to being the same person, only not BP. I have been verbally & emotionally beat down and belittled for the last 4 years. We have no kids.
