I too have been blessed with a supportive husband for 33 years. Even with a divorce rate of 90% among marriages with one bipolar spouse, we've beaten the odds, so it CAN be done. We just have to work harder at our relationship than most couples because I am bipolar and difficult to handle when I'm in a mood episode. He never holds a grudge even when I say hurtful things; once I realize what a brass-plated biatch I've been, I always apologize and try to make it up to him. He knows I didn't choose to be this way, and loves me no matter how crazy I am.
