Idon't think I would have listened to my husband when I was manic, I never saw a problem until I was depressed, then I understood where he was comming from. The only advice I can offer is to try to talk to him when he comes back down, but then again we are all different and whet worked for us may not always work for someone else, just try to be sincere in how you feel and what you have abserved, be honest. Hope this helps
