I met my husband when I was 16 before things were very bad for me although I definitely was struggling with my mental health then as well and he knew that. That was over 10 years ago though and I have mostly dealt with depression the whole time. This year and all the ups and downs have been so hard on him and the kids that he told me if I cant become stable I will have to leave. I guess that is love though, its what is making me decide not to go steal the wellbutrin out of his truck and stay up all night(even though I want to soooo badly). Bipolar definitely makes relationships much harder
