So I learned last night my husband basically thinks once Im on the right meds I'll be cured. He thinks all this is just a matter of self control. Three and a half months and he knows nothing about my Dx. I bet he couldn't even tell you what my Dx's are. He won't even read short online articles that I text links to for him. Not to defend myself but to open the door for understanding and God forbid conversation. 90% of marriages with a bipolar spouse end in divorce...now I know why. He doesn't get that there are triggers, there could be relapses, etc. I hate him right now. Anytime we talk about it he gets all weird and detached and tough love like attitude about it all. I just want to run away.
