I say "but not too tired to go out for 5 hours last friday" etc etc. All I ask for is to be loved and to feel loved and I don't. But I do feel your pain. You are not alone and I hope things do work out for the best for you. Me Personally... I am slowly just accepting it. This is just what marriage is.
Sometimes I wonder if it's the best I can hope for as a bipolar person, cuz, legitimately, I do get up to some pretty difficult things. Like I WAY over plan and I am kind of a workaholic, and it's hard to get my attention, periodically you can't get a word in edgewise, periodically I am so depressed that I can't get up, or I'll do things like punch myself in the face, and none of this is easy to live with, so maybe being tolerated is the best I can hope for?

I know from reading the forum that a lot of people will tell me to hope for a lot more, and that is great, but what about my kid? I can't leave her here!

A conundrum no doubt...

Anyhow just talking about it is good...
