    Do you both respect each other? Can you both now be KIND to each other? Can you both really see a future together? If so, then start doing things for the marriage -- for some inspiration and motivation use the behaviors in "A Short Guide to a Happy Marriage." Read it together, it's a short, easy read, and decide what you can implement immediately and do it. Good luck!

    A lot of healing takes place when we are at peace with the world.It does not mean that we necessarily allow others to walk over us but that we are human and we all have our faults. As a young child, I learnt the saying "to err is huamn...to forgive is divine!"
    It is heartening to see the love you still have! May God always give you the strength to carryon and perform your duty. We really can't expect God to forgive us our trespasses if we don't forgives others who have done us wrong. Pls continue honest but caring conversations and may oyu both make the best out of your predicaments!!!

    marriage IS for life.
    You vowed (more than a promise).
    Bipolar means HE's had to deal with illness on your part.
    Sort of "quid pro quo"
    However, genius and mental illness are closely related, and as John Forbes Nash has done, with intelligence and strength of will, SOME can live life without meds. (see "A Beautiful Mind" 2001)
    This is a true struggle for both of you. pray and perservere.

    Your love is truly unconditional and that is what really is important in the sight of God. No one says it has to be romantic love all the time... but this is sacrificial love. Press on...

    Dear sister, you are such a girl on whom God put his signature. I wholeheartedly appreciate you for the stand you took in the middle of difficulties and for your faithfulness for your marriage vows.. Keep it up. Finally, God will reward you for all of your sufferings...

    I didn't see anything there about kids...guess you have none with this man. If it were me, and I had brought children into this world with this person, I'm forever tethered to this individual...for the childs sake.
    But if no kids involved, I would have said "adios buddy!" To hell with the vows. In those vows, "to love and honour"...they go both ways. Guess he didn't believe in that.
    But, hey...whatever...to each his own. You obviously know what right for you. I sincerely hope that if your own health goes down hill, he will be there for you 110%! Good luck!
