Should I divorce my wife because I don't want to deal with her bipolar illness and her crazy side family? Ask a Question

Have you asked your wife

yes i did, i talked to her about divorce and she doesn't want to.

Its not a easy one to answer, you need professional help and guidence I wish you luck.

get her on some anti depressants or other bipolar medication. try talking about things together. just the 2 of you. no family. no yelling, take turns regardless of how much you want her to shut up and listen to you. no tit for tat. go to counseling if the 2 of you cant be civil.

if she refuses it all ...

do you have a prenuptial agreement?

if not then sign or sell all your stuff and sign over your bank accounts to a friend if you decide to go through a divorce.make sure they can be trusted. sign over everything to a friend, make sure it's done legally. go to a notary republic. sign it all over. when the divorce is done have it all given back.

right now she seeing counselor and i will see the same counselor next week. But i felt like she still the same when i talk to her.

How do i get prenuptial agreement?

Counseling is not an overnight solution, it is going to take awhile.

A prenuptial agreement must be done before your are married - pre meaning before, nuptial for marriage.

I have rheumatoid arthritis. Occasionally I can't walk well.(or pour coffee)My husband does alot for me because he knows I need him. So, if you love your wife do not leave her. Trust me she needs you. She would only get worse if you leave.

The day I divorced my bipolar husband was the best day of my life!

If you are asking such a question on the Internet, then the right choice is probably yes.

I wish you both the best. Divorce is very tough, but things could be worse.

Whatever solution you eventually come to, please remember she is your wife, whom you promised to care for in sickness and health. This is the sickness part.

If you end it, do it cleanly and without cheating her. There is no real profit in being vindictive.

It boils down to her willingness to understand and treat her illness. You cannot love an alcoholic into sobriety. You cannot love a mentally disabled person into rationality. Many medications are available to help bi-polar disorder. If she understands, with the help of a psychologist and psychiatrist, that she has a chemical imbalance in her brain that requires medication and is willing to accept her responsibility to help herself - then you owe it to her as her husband to stand by her. If she is unwilling to accept and take care of HER responsibilities to you (by accepting and dealing with her disorder) - then that's a deal breaker.

I wish you luck.

a deal breaker,,, There're days i found my life in danger with her. I found myself always frustrated with her when we talk. I hate most in the relationship right now is defend myself from her blaming me with her decisions. I'm so confused being around this woman and now I found myself so hard to leave this woman. May be the line "promised to care for in sickness and health" make me think twice about it. But there're times I felt like she's destroy my life.

and on top it her family side they're worst then her, all they knew is how to say negative stuff to me. And now i feel like i have to defend myself from all their negative stuff. I found this site
