IMHO - as both the patient and the caregiver at different times in my forty years of LIFE...

I feel that the spouse has to decide what they need and want from LIFE and then make it happen, and if it is to have your MARRIAGE then you must accept the ups and downs that will come with loving and living with a mentally ill spouse, but if your decision is to leave so that YOU may have a better life, full of peace and a less rocky roller coaster ride then make it happen and say BYE now! - do not wait until later (for the right time).

AND....... YES - I realize that what I just stated is easier said than done....
