I'm sorry if I don't understand the dynamics of your marriage (I don't visit this site that frequently)- but as someone who has done considerable damage during manic episodes, it was really, really important to do marital counseling. My husband had a lot of anger towards me and basically no trust (he had every right to feel that way). You mentioned mania, I am still in some denial when manic, and feel frustrated if I'm just happy and am accused of being manic. But I think a lot of that is fear on my husband's part, he's so afraid that if I am hypomanic that mania is around the corner and I'll damage us financially again. I guess I'm saying that there's a lot of issues when one spouse is bipolar, and a lot of work that has to be done to regain trust. If this is not pertinent to your situation, please forgive me- judy
