How long have you been married |
I have bi polar disorder and even though I knew it, I refused to call the doctor because I didn't want to admit that I have to live on meds for the rest of my life. I wanted to be "normal". Adam and I would fight all the time and some were really bad. Our last big fight he told me that it was obvious that I didn't love him at all or else I would have gone to the doctor a long time ago. I calmed down when he said that then I called the doctor. I got meds and was doing really well but then I quit for about a month or so and the fighting started again. Finally I started back up again after about a week of constant irritation between the two of us. Now I'm back to being "me" again and everything is better. I know it's tough living with somebody bipolar. My dad was bipolar so I know what it's like. I also know what it's like to be bipolar and believe me, it's harder than anyone can imagine. I have no problem talking about the disorder or what I've been through and I'm certainly not ashamed. It's a disease like everything else.
Anyways, back to the OP (sorry), I'm sorry your husband and you had a fight. I'm sure everything will be fine soon! When he comes home from work, meet him at the door with a hot outfit on and open arms... he'll melt!
