Hi Holymama -
My husband has also had similar reactions to me! If I get very angry about something he's done, he would blow it off and say it's not valid cuz it's just me blowing things out of proportion again due to my depressed mind skewing things.Now that I'm on meds and feeling better, he is calming down a bit. He doesn't attribute every blip in my personality to a sign of depression. It's taken awhile for him to get his bearings with me again. He's very kind, understanding and patient most of the time. Now that I'm on meds that are working, I don't blow up at him when he misinterprets something I say or do, so that helps the situation too!
Good luck with him . . . communication about the differences between manic and just human emotion is the best advice I've read. Good luck to you, too. Marriage is hard under the best of circumstances, let alone where expressions of emotion and men are concerned :-)
