I am a diagnosed bipolar, My advise is to be completly supportive and accepting of your husbands needs (unless it gets physically abusive) This is a very difficult sickness to live with, for all parties involved. Your husband needs support and you may want to get support for yourself as well, I know what I do to the members of my family I constantly am hurting them emotionally and the most difficult part is hurting the ones we love and ultimetly shutting them out, my advise is to call a social worker in your area who can help you as a wife deal with the sickness. Keep your head up be strong and don't give up he does truly need your support.
