Hi Bipolar Artist Husb!
My ex had bipolar disorder, we're pretty sure. He wasn't dx, though. We're also pretty positive he had PTSD- he had all the symptoms basically and we knew the cause. I think although bipolar comes with neg. traits and issues, people with the disorder are also more likely to have some positive traits I find attractive. I also have two cousins with BP. You sound like a very caring, understanding spouse. He's lucky to have you, and sounds like you're lucky to have him, too.
