It could. I talk really crazy when I'm manic but not hypomanic. Sometimes you can't stop the **** that comes out of your mouth.

Have you told him it's really bothering you? He may not know you don't like the jokes and will hopefully stop when he does. He might just be a jerk but I don't know him so who knows. Not me.

Anyway bipolar is not an excuse to say whatever you want with no consequence. Even if it is because of a mood episode he may need extra help right now. Med adjustment or more therapy or something. I always get extra help when I'm super irritable because it is no excuse to treat my husband like dirt.
