I was married 6 years, and in that relationship for 14 years, before we divorced. I'm bipolar. He's never been diagnosed with anything, but he definitely had episodes of depression, and he became psychotic on one occasion and thought I was poisoning his food. Anyways, I think the combination of our mental health problems was a big part of why we split up, but it was much more complicated than just that. Personally, I don't think I could be with someone who had never experienced some form of mental illness because I don't think I could relate to them. I prefer to be with people who have some internal chaos, I think they are more interesting.
