I have been in that mindset myself tbh, so I know what you cannot expect even though you want to. For him to be hospitalized that long, he must not be doing well and even capable of leaving and going into an outpatient program.

I can't blame you for wanting answers though, after all, it was sudden and you are expecting a child too.

When it comes to mental illness, we have to learn patience. I would rather not support any negativity or judgment calls about him either because it really could be that he is genuinely struggling. As a person who genuinely struggled and faced unfair judgment or criticism from others myself, I feel it is important to give this time and try not to jump to bad conclusions.

It is too bad that he is not your husband where you can approach the people who are on his treatment team yourself where you could get more information.

You need to take care of your needs right now, and as I said, if you need to talk, we are here to listen.
