I'm married to a normie. He's been around through mania and depression. Unless I mess up really bad like cheating on him I can't see him leaving me. So I don't worry.

I'm not married, but I do get embarrassed around friends and family when I start acting afoul.

I was married to a "normie" too. He never once strayed or gave me grief because I was BP---just saw me through episode after episode and forgave me when I behaved badly. I miss him so, I don't expect I'll ever be loved like that again.

I get embarrassed around friends and family, too. Not married, so I can't relate, but my first (and only) boyfriend left me because he saw me depressed and couldn't handle it, so...
