I have been working with my doctor to help get myself back to feeling normal, knowing that it was having an impact on my relationship with my husband. I was diagnosed with bipolar II, and the next day my husband told me he wanted a separation as soon as it was "possible". He had done this to me about 6 times, then just ended up staying with me. This time, I'm not sure if I want to stay with him. I am ready to call it quits. He treats me like I don't even exist most the time. He sleeps until it's time to work, works, comes home and has his face in the computer, then goes to bed. I just can't deal with this anymore. I have been trying sooooo hard to do anything and everything that I possibly can to help make things better for us, and clearly you need both people to be willing to work on things. I am exhausted. If I ever just go up to talk to him, he sighs and says what now?. Like I am a major inconvenience to him. Not to mention how he picks at every little thing that I do.

He won't tell me why he wants to leave me, he says he doesn't owe me an explanation of anything...sigh......he says it has nothing to do with my diagnosis, and he sure didn't have any problem saying that "see, maybe it's all your fault" Not to mention the fact that we have two children together, and he never spends any time with them. I feel so bad for them, I dont want us to separate, just because Idon't want our kids to go through that.

Does anyone have any words of thought for me? I'm not really sure where I'm going from here.
