I have bipolar 2, but I'm not married.
If you think back on the past, can you recall any past periods where he was either depressed or hypomanic? If so, how did the two of you handle it without even knowing what it truly was? You made it this far, you can certainly keep it going!
Be careful to not over-analyze your hubby's behaviours. It can be super easy to go "Oh, I think you're depressed" or "Hey, you've been really energetic lately, I think you're hypomanic!" as it could get extremely annoying to your H. If you notice changes in behaviour, wait for it to seem more like a solid pattern and not just a daily up or down mood as everyone has those. Unless it's something super extreme, obviously!
