I don’t gaf almost. I’m growing cold, grown cold. I don’t want to give more than the middle, I only want to compromise fairly.
I’m not able to size up the state of the relationship. I think it could be quickly better, which I think means its not that bad, is fixable. But am I wrong? his behavior can be so annoying (that’s how I think of it NOW). I’m so resentful and sooo annoyed and frustrated by him!
Does it get better?
It’s like don’t criticize him. Don’t be a b. Don’t be crazy (calls ME crazy frequently when I’m not). He acts up acts out freaks out is so LOUD. He might never talk to you either!
He makes strides too and fixes some problems, so that’s encouraging.
He communicates poorly with others. Very awkward. Offensive paranoid overbearing. he can be charming, but he acts so obnoxiously sometimes, and it’s not excusable obnoxiousness sometimes. I feel like I’m being so mean and I would feel bad if he read this and got upset.
He has bipolar and takes meds and is bouncing back from near break. It’s been a few years or so, but it takes a lot of time for him heal.
I work to protect all our lives health and sanity. But sometimes I realize it’s dysfunctional. But then it okay again the next minute.
It doesn’t make any sense and it’s exhausting!!
It’s like I’m rejecting because I need boundaries. Or rejecting if I want him to have limits. Or unsupportive if I don’t trust his choices. And stupid when I trust his choices! At least sometimes.

Your amazing in the way you described this If I did not know better I would think your describing me as I also have Bipolar.I spend all my time working at undoing damage caused when in mania episodes.i always remind myself my wife and family suffer this illness along with me. I get frustrated because an episode can cause great damage in a short time that people become resentful. I set up calendars that show when I'm outside my norm. My family is fully educated when not to take things to heart. I work extra hard trying to undo any damage I caused when outside these episodes. My therapist is trained in both Bipolar and marriage therapy. She has really made a big impact in explaining to others what I experience. It helps heal and put things in the past. I feel so sorry for my wife that she must withstand these behaviors.
