I am scared and afraid to explore this in couple's therapy. I don't want to get triggered and end up in the hospital again. Wow, I really need some hypomania now. Well, maybe stability would be better.
I imagine that it would matter who he is going with to parties. If it's a male friend or platonic female friend that may be appropriate. I would recommend that you do talk about it at couples therapy though, so you can both explain how you would view it.
