Long time married couple, Ron and Beka Owens share their story of what works, and what doesn't work when one partner has bipolar disorder.
"I read somewhere recently that the divorce rate when one marriage partner has bipolar disorder is 90%. While it seems kind of high to me, I suppose I understand it. In the 12 years I have been married to my wife, there have been many times when one or both of us was ready to quit. " -Ron Owens, IBPF Blogger. Read more on our website ibpf.org.
"With bipolar disorder, you need to go into marriage with the mindset that each day is different; some days are harder than others, but no matter what, you need to give it your all. Both of you. Bipolar disorder is not an excuse. It is just something that makes things more complicated sometimes." -Beka Owens, IBPF Blogger. Read more on our website ibpf.org.

I had to quit after 12 years. I’ve been mentally abused long enough. This time she went manic and started drinking and sleeping around. Things she would NEVER ordinarily do. She stopped her meds and thinks this is the REAL her instead of the stable loving her. I’ve made excuses for her long enough. I’m out of forgiveness and I’m mentally and physically stressed to the point of danger. What really hurts is the fact I KNOW she will sober up from this and be devastated by what she’s done and lost. It wouldn’t surprise me if she commits suicide. But I can’t help it. Please people don’t go for years being abused by a bipolar spouse who refuses to get help. They can literally destroy your life in a single day

Very informative…I’ve needed to hear and know all this for many years being married to bipolar men and divorced from both and then living with two more bipolar men one for 10 years and the last was for 4 years all ended. I developed anxiety disorder from it all. I know several bipolar people and these will really help them as they have helped me. I now know it wasn’t my fault and have grown tremendously from it all. Loved this video, thank you. 😊

Thank you for your honesty. I am going to visit a family member, a married woman with children, who is currently hospitalized with bipolar and I have had no idea what she is facing. This description of the reality of what can be happening is eye opening and helpful.

My husband is bipolar. My sister in law and my mother in law for them I am the bad person. They blame me for everything. They all get against me when he is maniac. My sister in law is 8 hours away from us. She has no idea what is living with a bipolar. I wish she can be out of our problems. My husband calls her when he is manic and throws me under the bus. 8 believe she is bipolar too. She acts like my husband! Ups and downs. She screams at us and then she feels sorry. Happened so many times that I feel numb. It is hard! 22 years of marriage. 20 married with a bipolar. 3 years he was diagnosed😢 I feel that my life is melting away.

My husband is bipolar too & not only does his whole family not understand bipolar, but they are his suppliers to alcohol & weed. My advice is to tell him your new boundaries to live with you: must take medications & talk with counselor, no phone, no games, no leaving house unless you are notified, no contact family & drug friends. During manic episodes: take away car keys & wallet & stay home while taking sleeping medication. It’s the same thing that the hospitals do for manic episodes & addiction. It’s the only way for them to live healthy & for you to be safe. If he won’t agree then you must leave!

How do I deal with my boyfriend being hypersexual when I leave for work. I work as a private senior caregiver, and his episodes seems to come on while I'm gone to work. He says he loves me and does not know why he dies the things he does. But, he was just recently diagnosed with Bipolar, Adult ADHD, and PTSD. Please help by any advise that I can get to try to understand.🙏
