We talked about it while I was stable and we both agreed it's okay! We agreed that if I am checked out more than a week then it needs addressed. At that point I want him to step in and bring it to my attention , its easy to lose track of time when your battling Bipolar depression.
If your ready to throw in the towel at day 3 then you need to really think if you should stay together. He's told you that it's not you, so its not like you are totally left in the dark hanging.
I hope you can both sit down and have a discussion about this and certainly don't threaten to leave him. That never makes things better and will lead to resentment and him feeling less than an equal in the relationship..
Good luck

At day 3 x 20 I'm ready to throw in the towel.. As I said before, it's actually been two months of this. I don't threaten to leave him either, I decide that I'm going to. There is no need for threatening really. I simply decide I may so well be single.
I am also going through it.. My own depression. As someone else said, we have opposite needs. Telling me it's not me then disappearing anyway is leaving me in the dark, still. Especially since he wouldn't tell me if it was me anyway, there is no way to know if I bothered him in some way until he gets in a rage and let's it out.
I guess we will have the discussion. Its just that idk when. Could be another month before he comes around.. Maybe more. Idk if he is actually working through his issues right now
