My ex and I went through hell...the first 12 years, we had no idea what was going on, then we found out that she was bipolar. Then after we had separated I was diagnosed. I agree with others in one way; the spouse of some one with bipolar has to be a saint if you're going to maintain a relationship. With two, I don't see any way in the world to keep it going.

I know that sounds dreary and unencouraging, but that's the way I see it.
