I appreciate all of your feedback. While I do not believe that my wife has bipolar, she does have depression and an eating disorder, which can be related to her relationship with her mother and other things. I know that there is a very real possibility of divorce in our future and my heart is slowly beginning to surrender to this. However, I will never give up on my wife, best friend, and life partner. It is hard to listen to her admit that her biggest issue in general has been unable to speak up or talk about difficult things in life, not just our relationship, and she is focusing on that in therapy. Last night she told me that she needs a separation to process so many things beyond our relationship and to find out if the love she had for me is truly dead. So I will love her by respecting her wishes, but still loving her without expecting her to feel differently. I will focus on being a light in my son’s life and become a better man on my own.
