re: Anyone Ever Divorce a BiPolar Spouse

A Bi-polar spouse is the death of many marriages. The condition may not show initially and the swings may not be as severe initially, but it can get so severe that involuntary treatment is required before the spouse hurts someone or his or herself.

I don't think I could deal with a bi-polar spouse for long, especially with kids in the picture, but some do. It's not that uncommon.

In my experience, the meds do keep the patient out of the ditches, but they don't like taking them, especially in the manic phase. And, they will pretend to take them instead of taking them.

Divorce is divorce, just document things and if there is a medical diagnosis, use it.
