Sounds like he spoke in anger/frustration? Did you have words?
I believe that where relationships and mh are concerned the partner desires to see active signs of seeking to manage health as opposed to avoidable/controllable/mindful(less) behavior.

It really sucks to have a partner who doesn't get it.

How interested is he in educating himself about your disorder?

He can be a great pillar of support if he learns what your early warning signs and symptoms are.

There are heaps of support sites / blogs he can read too that are written for partners of people with MH issues.

Spouse or boyfriend? One is worth more effort than the other, generally speaking.
