I've been with my fiancé for three years. I often feel like he thinks I'm just making excuses and I don't know how to explain what really is out of my control. He doesn't seem interested in reading about Bipolar Disorder (again, because this could mean I just want a free pass to act as I wish).

It's worth saying that something I love about him is that he treats me like a "normal" person- meaning, gives me validation and doesn't write me off as "crazy" like many of my family members did (which in itself can be crazy-making). Still, I don't know how to communicate the importance of this or how it could make a difference.
