He keeps telling me that he has been warning me many times over that my behavior would lead to this end. I bitterly think that I wish he simply booked an appointment with a doctor and led me there, a great many years back. Likewise with a family therapy appointment - not wait for me to do it for years, but go f*** ahead. Further, he holds me responsible for everything I did while manic, and I want a break. Cannot find peace.

He is angry.
As to the bold -- I have this resentment as well. Last summer, I really needed help, and my bf just didn't pick up on it. Instead of calling my pdoc or my parents to get me help, he just quietly seethed at me. He made it all about himself and how I wasn't meeting his needs. But I was in the midst of a mixed episode. I needed help, and he should have seen that. He should have ignored his own needs and stepped up to meet mine. Instead, he stood idly by as I lost my beloved job. I told him that he failed me as a partner. He got really upset when I said that.
