Probably a bit of both really. I am inclined to think that the anger helps him to keep going.

Does that mean you have a physical issue?

itas good to know that and to work from that basis, but it doesnt mean you cant reassess at this stage. You can have a conversation to try to get some more of your needs met.

I went to carers groups but most of the people in the groups were dealing with children with mental illness.
Even though my partner suffers from a MI I justify it with the fact that some "normal" people have worse behaviour than those suffering from mental illness eg people with addictions or abuse problems.

Re: Topic Tuesday // Should I stay or should I go? // 18 Oct. 7pm AEDT
The person who is mentally ill is my ex-husband now, and I live in the same house as him. He has undiagnosed bipolar disorder. I am the diagnoser as he will never see a mental health professional. I have studied some psychology subjects as part of the nursing degree I have just finished. My ex-husband comes across as very narcissistic at times, and the opposite at other times. Many of the self help books you can get tell you to leave a narcissist. This why I left for 8 years. But standing on the sidelines I could see him messing up my grown up kids lives. I live in the same house but work on enforcing strict boundaries.

Hello @Melstar71
I find if I am calm and relax my husband who has a mental illness is more relaxed
