I have been married to wife about 10 years and together for about 13 years, I have been bipolar for much longer though. In all the years with my wife it never dawned on me to tell her I'm bipolar until about 3 weeks ago. Since then I have asked her what she thinks about me and bipolar and she refuses to talk about it.

I'm quite sure all she knows about bipolar is what she has seen on TV and movies, so generally not good messages. I don't know what she thinks was wrong with me since I have never worked in all that time and I have always been
generally quite weird.

Should I bring it up again and insist on talking about it or just give her more time to think about it, if so how much longer should I wait? I think her way of dealing with it is to not think about it and pretend I never even told her.

Does it matter if we never talk about it again?

BTW She knows I have started just Lamictal and I have told her that it is for bipolar.

Also on Cymbalta, Risperidone, Ativan, Tegretol, Baclofen, Inderal.
