Miguel's Mom and her spouse are a good example of a bipolar relationship that works. I don't know how they do it, but I admire them both!
Me, I couldn't handle being married to someone like myself. I need a rock to cling to when I'm in choppy seas, so to speak, and my husband fits that bill perfectly. He can stay rational when I'm being ridiculsous, and he's comforting when I'm down on myself. But more importantly, he can take charge when I'm utterly incapable of even paying a bill or talking to someone on the phone......nope, I wouldn't do well at all if I were married to another BP'er.
