I am so happy to have found this site. I am not alone. wow..that feels good. My husband of 7 years is bipolar (diagonsed only 3 years ago) so I know exactly what you guys are saying and feeling.
I am hurting now, as my husband left to see his family overseas, supposedly for 2 weeks, and has not yet come back, 11 weeks later. I get a call or a text about once a week. It is sooooooo hard on my emotions. I feel like screamng at him *what--do you just not think of me, all week--not once you thought that I might be happy to hear from you*
Before he left, he could not stand being away from me.It was all, I love you - I miss you. Right down to missing me when I was just out running to the store 5 min....???
And now this???
But I am trying really hard to stay calm, but sometimes I just feel like my life is on hold..you know.. like I say to myself -* ok.. when he calls I will feel better and then go to the gym*-- but in the meantime, I mostly lie around trying not to cry.
Will he be back?
Is this non-communication normal for bipolars?
What is the best way for me to deal with this? strategy wise
thanks for listening
