Husband Moving Out But Says His Intent is Not to Leave the Marriage

[FaithHope]

Quite frankly 2Sunny, I'm not so sure where you're coming from with your responses. Perhaps you can't see that it's no longer about fixing my husband, and it's now about fixing me and the aftermath of being in a bipolar marriage. Sometimes, we have to understand the condition before we could cope with the damage. Perhaps you should read up on bipolar if you're so damned concerned about what it is that my husband is now doing. As far as I'm concerned, that is no longer my focus. Thanks for your help, anyway.

My alcoholic husband seems bipolar when he's relapsed.

 

In fact mine sounds a lot like yours.

 

If he wanted to actually look into specific brain functioning (or is he in denial?) the Amen Brain Clinics can see it under scan. It's pretty amazing.

 

My father went there two years ago and his brain is so messed up that they only gave him recommendations for one area of the brain to start with to improve things and a follow-up after for some of the others.

I have experience with both.

 

And I encourage you to get more education on bipolar and alcoholism. He may get treated for bipolar - but IF his drinking problem isn't addressed - you will experience and watch the same behavior.
