Q: I think my husband is bipolar.. can you tell me whats wrong with him?

Ok.. for the past 3 months me and my husband has been seperated.. but for the past 2 months we have been seeing each other about 2 times a week. He keeps changing his mind about if he wants to be with me every week. Then suddenly a month ago he was it was over for good and he does want to talk to me anymore. Then recently a few days ago he called me up saying that yes he does love me but is not "in" love with me. Followed by that response he said he had feelings for me and he cared about me and if my parents were dead then he could be in love with me. After he said that i told him the in love might come back and he said no it cant. After that he said he wants a divorce. Then 5 seconds later he said he wants to date me after we get a divorce. Then he says he wants to get remarried someday. I dont quite understand where he is coming from.Can anyone tell me whats going on with him??

Yes i went through the "i love you, i hate you" thing with my BP ex too... sounds very familiar.  Obviously if i'm calling him my ex you can see the choice I made.

 

I too can't diagnose him or tell you for sure, but take a look at his family history for one, and also, did this just come about???  Or have you seen odd behavior or mood changes before?

Been there, done that.  Obviously I don't know what is wrong with your husband but I can share that when my husband acted similar to that with other symptoms of past behaviors I asked him to take an online bipolar test and it said he fit the bipolar description and he sought medical help and has been seeing a pyschiatrist and on meds since April, it' hasn't been the "cure all" but it has helped and he enjoys going to talk with the doctor each month.  I would suggest you research the symptoms of bipolar and see if you husband fits if so ask him what he thinks, he may not admitt he has a "problem" at first but when he's in a rationale mood to be able to talk about his actions he might realize he may need medical help.  I would suggest in the mean time you decide what you want, what you'll put up with, take care of yourself because no one else will.  Take Care!
