<prompt> Human: My friend, who makes 75kyear in western KS, is in a serious relationship with a very nice guy that is bipolar. Apparently, when he gets manic, hes been known to spend lots of money.With marriage on the horizon, how can she financially protect herself from manic episodes like this?Obviously maintaining personal accounts would be a good start. However, when theyre married, couldnt he open up credit lines which would ultimately wrap her into it?Note: 75k in westernrural Kansas is a considerable income. Shes saves the large majority of her income.  <response>: If she isnt 100 sure that he is committed enough to the relationship to stay on his meds and do whatever he needs to do to prevent this from happening then she shouldnt marry him.
