Exactly why he’s recommending it.

My wife has bipolar disorder, and your write up is what I would imagine my wife would say as well. One thing that I would like to add is that the other person has to be fully committed. It’s a long journey to getting to a “normal” relationship. With my wife she had episodes for a couple years, got better on the big problems, but she would still lash out at me every few days. It totally changed me as a person. Only after about 7 years would I say that she’s at a good point. It was so hard on me, I’m trying to get the person I once was, but I know it will take time.

Can you expand on the 3 false alarms that we have had? This is the first that I’m hearing of this.

He sounds like a great guy, you may want to check on him every once in a while. He may seem like a rock, but could be having troubles as well. I wish you both the best, you sound like a great couple.

My wife has bipolar disorder, she is now on the right meds and she is a good mom. As long as you find the right meds that work for you, you can be a great mom. I can’t speak to the possibility that it may be passed to your kids, but being a good mom is very possible. Good luck, I hope you have kids one day. One thing about my wife, and she may be different from you, she requires a lot of sleep. I have had to step up and make sure to prioritize her sleep over mine when needed.
