My wife is diagnosed bipolar 2. We have been married for just over a year after three years of living together and have been close for about ten years. Recently, her medication has changed, much for the better, she is a much more stable, more energetic person now. She has, however, decided that she no longer wants to be married. Of course there are some underlying problems, not the least of which is that she has begun an affair with another man. We have started marriage counseling, but I believe that she has associated me with the years of depression that we have toiled through and already decided to leave me. Is this a common scenario among bipolar sufferers and if so, what are the typical outcomes. I welcome any information.
