Thanks so much guys. I think he just has no idea how to handle it and thinks it's his place to "pull me into line". I guess he probably is stretched thin because of my moods over the past year. He's learning..I just need to remind myself that. And LUNARMIST7, thank you for your reply. I honestly don't think he has fully accepted it - for ages he told therapists (that are trying to help me/us!) that he doesn't believe I have bipolar, that it's just that I need to work on coping skills and that I've been believing a lie. It's only been recently he's said he's seeing that I am unwell, and I just hope that he begins seeing that I'm not intending to be like this. Thankfully he's coming to talk to my pdoc this week which should help.
