Bipolar is a problem that my partner and I have struggled with. It is helpful to get stable with meds and start to find common ground. It is important to stop the skirmishes and find kind and gentle ways to talk to each other.

It is not easy, but when the stress levels are lower it is possible to communicate without anger and start to understand what each is going through. It takes two willing partners to go down this road. Some couples do not make it because one partner cannot cope with the idea of change. Both people have to be willing to change. Bipolar or not, man or woman, both people need to find ways to clean and support the house and support each other.
