read my last two questions and a lot of people said my wife is Bi-polar and I kind of think she is too, I brought it up very tactfully and she, kind of got mad and said she don’t think she is, all I told her was to please talk to a doctor or do blood work so they can find out something, is this to much to ask??

No, it's not too much to ask. Be forewarned- those with bi-polar disease NEVER think they are sick. It's a nasty cycle. Even after they are diagnosed and on medicine for a while, they will up and decide they don't need it anymore and you will be back at square one- begging her to admit she is sick and hoping she'll go to a doctor. Not trying to scare you, just giving you a heads-up.

Unfortunately, it may take something drastic before she will face her problem. My husband is bi-polar and believe me, we went through so much and I was patient and loving as I could be but there were times when I could not stand him and threatened to leave. Even that was not enough!
Eventually, it took him acting like a complete jackass for several months and me throwing him out for him to finally admit he had a serious problem and go to a psychiatrist. And it changed our lives. Really. The therapy helped us deal with the massive mess he had wrought beforehand but the meds he's taking now (and will be taking for life so long as I'm around) made him finally become the person I knew was inside him all along. The person I only got to see once in a while.
Do whatever it takes to get her to a psychiatrist. Please.

She denies b/c like most she does not believe there is a problem. In most cases these People will loose everything before they will own up to somethings gotta be wrong with me and then some times they will get help. No it's not to much to ask, if you want a life with this lady then she is going to need help whatever it is, bi-polar or something else. So stand firm with her and if she wants to spend her life with you, then she will get this looked into.

women also do not like to admit that there may be something wrong. I have no idea what your last 2 post were about, but she does need to see a Dr. It may be as simple as depression....not that depression is simple at all, but it is not a severe as bi-polar disorder. She needs to know that it is OK, and that it is because you love her that you b rough this up. and it does not mean that your life is over just because you are depressed. anti depressants are designed to release serotonin in the brain which helps in depression. If the 2 of you can get out of the house and walk....exercise has proven to release serotonin in the brain. But your wife is not alone .... I hope that she will find it in herself to get help, just be supportive, and I know that it is difficult when she has bouts of anger. She has no idea why she is feeling the way that she is....she cannot explain it, and as women, we are suppose to understand ourselves, and we just cant with depression, so we get frustrated. It is very wonderful of you to want to help your wife....stick in there, and maybe eventually she will see that you are really trying ot help her, and not just trying to pi** her off.
Best of luck to you

Yes if she is Bi Polar. She well not be reasonable much less agreeable. Good luck. I know someone who is Bi Polar and it took years to get her to go to the doctor and then we have spent years trying to get her to stay on meds.
