You did mention 'roller coaster' moods on another thread --if this is the case, maybe something isn't right with the medications. But therapy can also help with this, especially if some of these moods of triggered by environmental issues.
I don't think bipolar has to destroy a relationship, but I think it's important for it not to play such a huge role in the relationship -and I'm not referring to the episodes, just all the explaining, the focus on it. Maybe not every time you get irritated at him is because of the bipolar? I think the danger of it playing a large role, is that then every mood and behavior is interpreted as bipolar, when it's possible that this is not the case. It can become a kind of being married to bipolar instead of being married to *you* --and you are no doubt a lot more than this, and are not always experiencing episodes.
