Sorry about all that you are going through. It's true that you can forget certain things during manic episodes. Although it is good to hear that your husband is supportive, I can understand that the fact he brought up divorce must be very hard to deal with. Although couples therapy could be very helpful in getting your husband to better understand BP, I think it is also of utmost importance for you to do some thinking about what you want. Do you feel that you are being judged for having BP by him and that this can cause future problems or that you are walking on eggshells around him? Sometimes these things can actually worsen mania from all the anxiety these types of issues cause. I've been there before. Were there any other underlying issues in your relationship? I'm not asking you to answer here, of course, but just some things to think about.

In other words, it is important for you to focus on yourself and your own wellness right now. Some people fall into a trap of just worrying about their partner's approval, and this is unhealthy for anyone struggling with Bipolar (or anyone for that matter since it can lead to codependency in relationships). Just my two cents and some things to consider. ((HUGS))
