Hi Pucca I don't have a significant other that has bipolar. Diagnosed with bipolar or not every relationship will have obstacles to overcome. You can't force your husband to go to therapy, but you could go yourself. This may help with getting ideas on how to create boundaries etc. Make sure you take time for yourself and surround yourself with your support network when he's unwell. The book in my signature is written for family, significant other and friends of persons diagnosed. It's an excellent book and may help.
