According to statistics, 90% of marriages which involve a bipolar spouse end in divorce. I think the statistics are much better if the bipolar spouse is actively receiving treatment. It's not perfect, but it shows that we're trying.

My husband gave me the same ultimatum about 8 months ago.

When we're untreated and not receiving any form of therapy, we're exhausting to people. We drain spouses, family, friends, anyone who dares to get near us. Sometimes they leave, or sometimes they just take a mental break from us and we feel the distance.
