This title is not meant to insult anyone, but that is what went through my head when I realized the reality of my loved ones illness. This is an inside look at the story of my experience of falling love with someone without knowing he had mental illness.
The story is an emotional and spiritual reflection of the unfolding of bipolar disorder in the relationship. It is the story before the diagnosis. I want to help people realize what they are dealing with earlier and remove the shame of talking about the relationship. It's not a fairy tale, and we are not saints, so prepare yourself for the real adult story of love with a spouse with bipolar. There is a way to stay if you want to, if you think outside the box.
