HA! We are separatede at the moment... does that answer your question? lol

I'm in gerogia riht now with my daughter and her kids, and since I've been re evaluating my life, I keep going back to this same question. I have been married 28 years and am only 43!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i change my mind like i change my underwear..... about everything! i'm so scared to get married...what if i make the wrong decision??? what if i change my mind??? ugh... gives me a stomach ache just thinking about it :(

Unfortunately stats show it's hard to be married to a beeper. Sometimes it's us, sometimes it's them. but we are a pain all the time either way :) I just got a Divorce 5 months ago. Still friends with my ex and she is very knowledgeable and understanding about BP.

We're never married - she was married before to an abusive man - but we were together for a long time. She is a great person but we were so wrong for each other.

It was a case of false advertising, laugh, perhaps on both of our parts. I put myself forward as a together kind of guy and she put herself forward as athletic and outgoing. She is a wonderful person, just so wrong for me. As for me, I think with the uncontrollable mood swings and inability to keep a job, that I'm wrong for everybody. I'm so much happier as a bachelor.

Seperated right now myself, I have been hell to live with over the last few years so I don't blame my wife, my mother-in-law I blame a little but not my wife. :)
Now that I have been DX'ed and am working on my many issues there may be a chance to repair my marriage but there is a lot of damage I caused that would need to be fixed first.
If you have a loving and understanding mate that learns about BP and can help you recognize when you are getting manic or depressed I can see it working.
Good Luck

According to my pdoc, i have been bp since i was aout 4 yrs old. so during the last 28 years i've been this way, now with the dx, why has everything changed?

When we were dating I thought how alike we were. When we got married I realized I had married an extreme introvert who loves being alone in his own thoughts. I'm the ultimate extrovert, a complete chatter box however we've made it 17-years so far so maybe opposites do attract.

What has changed, Flying?

Don't do it! I can't wait to get out of mine. Then I am going to be a total slut for six months, then I'll be a good girl and look for a nice guy to have babies with who doesn't care about the stupid piece of paper.

it's proably just me, i married him when i was 15 and he was 17. he kinda treats me different now that we know what my problem, we walk on egg shells. i'm lookeing back on things to see why we didn't seek help before i wanted to die last summer

LOL my sister says every woman diserves to be a total slut for 3 months in her lifetime

i def married the right man he is my rock and my hero

Well, I don't wonder on my behalf I wonder on his. I often think I am just not good enough.

I do feel like I'm not good enouh, however, he tells me one thing and then he'll do something totally oposite and sometimes treats me like he's my dad
