You say that you cycle through episodes of varying intensity,"dealing with it," on your own, but you describe your behavior as distant and uninterested.

So, is it possible that your husband doesn't really have trust issues, but he is responding to the very real signals that you are sending him when you're "working through," another episode. maybe the problem is that you won't even consider medication to level out your moods and behave in a way that actually reflects your feelings.

not sure if you're interested, but I spent a long time (about 10 years) bucking at the idea of taking meds. then I found the right ones. now I'm happily ever after.
I'm going to very nicely say that I appreciate your response, but disagree.

I will not go back on meds. I've taken a lot of them. They do more harm than good and several have caused me medical issues that are now worse than ever.

He has trust issues. He has accused me of cheating on him multiple times over the last four and a half years- even without reason or provocation. Anytime I used to go grocery shopping, he would tell me that for all he knew, I was out sleeping around.

He has insecurities stemming from two failed marriages and he needs to work on them.

So thanks, but no thanks.
