I couldn't be married to someone like me. I'd kill him! There should be at least ONE sane partner to make a long and successful marriage IMHO. I know there are some couples who beat the odds (MM and her husband come to mind), but it's not bloody likely.
My husband and I just celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary, and there's no way we'd have made it this far if he were bipolar too. I'm too high-maintenance and too undependable to hold up more than my half of the relationship......sometimes I don't even hold up my own end, though it's gotten a LOT better in the past year and I've done more since he got sick.
