My second marriage was to a wonderful man. He is 11 yrs. older than me. I was his 3rd marriage. We worked together for 3 yrs., dated for 3 yrs., lived together for 3 yrs., and were married for almost 3 yrs. My husband one day became another man and drove me out of the house. He divorced me and I was devastated. He went from adoring me to having no interest in me at all. I still can't figure out what happened? He never truly explained it to me. I am guessing that he is bipolar.

My divorce was 1 yr. ago last June. I did not agree to it, but he was hell bent on it. He got a lawyer who forced me into it. In the 3rd yr. of our marriage, my husband came home one day in total shock. He had come home from the dentist. He found out he needed $5,000 for dental work. We were both very poor and he was distraught about paying his bills. I tried to be very optimistic and told him we'd get thru it. The very next day, he became obsessed with selling all his collectibles on Ebay. He was suddenly on the computer constantly, trying to figure out the value of his items and how to sell them. This went on for 1 week, he sold 1 item, then put everything away and forgot about Ebay. Then, he became obsessed with making a wooden address sign for our house. He moment that he wasn't at work, he was working on the sign. He would even work outside in the dark. He took a flashlight outside and cut wood most of the night. He spent days perfecting the painting and sanding. This was just a very basic plain wooden sign. Nothing fancy. Next, he began screaming at me for strange things. We had never fought before and he always had treated me like a queen. Suddenly, he began insulting me and fighting with me over trivial things. Then he would go out with friends every Friday night. We always shared the computer since I did not have my own. For years I used his email, then out of the blue, he locked me out of the computer. He started leaving the front door open all night and day. He locked himself out of his truck 3 times in 1 week. He bought anything and everything that was on sale...15 boxes of cereal (none that he liked), 10 bottles of mineral oil, etc. He frequently talked jibberish to me. I knew he was using English words, but they didn't make sense. This 60 yr. old man worked all day, built "projects" all night, went to bed at 2 am, got up at 5:30 and started back up again. He said he was never tired. Even his own son asked me what was wrong with him. His son thought he was on speed. His mom and sister asked him if he was on drugs and he said no. Anyway, my Birthday came and he bought me some beautiful necklaces from China. I had a great birthday. 3 days later, he told me he thought he didn't love me. He told me he had faked loving me all these years, that I was getting old, sick, and that I was pessimistic. He told me he loved me for only 1 month after marrying me. He threw me out, wouldn't lift a finger to help me in any way, wouldn't even help me move my stuff. He wouldn't listen to any reasoning, just divorced me. Now, he won't talk to me at all. He turned his entire family against me too. I am completely devastated. I don't know why he has turned me into a villian. I loved him tremendously and was a great wife to him. When he was well he always bragged to everyone how wonderful I was and how lucky he was to have me. He never has or will see a dr. I know he's gone, but I need closure. I am only guessing that he's bipolar. I talked a little once to his family, but they are oblivious to his behavior.

This certainly sounds like something is wrong, but you will not know what until he has physical and pyschological tests. Because he has thrown you out of his life, it isn't likely that you will be able to get these done. If it were me, I would seek therapy for myself just to talk through how bad this has been for you, to help you find that closure and move on. Best of luck to you.
