I think my wife is bipolar. And it’s not a “I’m just saying this” I truly think she’s manic at times. 

Her mother passed in January of this year and ever since then it’s been an emotional roller coaster for us. 

One day she’s “missing me and loves me and wants to work on our marriage” and “checks in me” and “thanks me” and has my hopes high!

Less than 24 hours later I wake up to “I want out” and she wants a divorce. 

Today was the day she insisted on giving me her ring back..

Less than 8 hours later she’s talking to me, she embraces me and we HOLD one another, and she cries and I cry. And I give her space which is what she says to me “I just need space with all that’s going on” and I agree to give her that space for her own healing. 

I leave the room, she calls for me, I come out and she has her hand out stretched to follow her to our bedroom…I had some Mother’s Day gifts on the bed that I’d planned to give her…she opens them…I’m stoic but she is happy or so it appears…

I leave to pick up our daughter (16) and she pulls me in, looks at me and hug’s me and kisses me and tell me she’s going for a drive and is that ok? I say of course, me and the kid have errands to run anyways. 

I’m soooo confused and unsure what to do. I want her to get help and I want to stick by her, as I love her dearly and I want her to get better. 

Emotionally I’m numb…cause this isn’t my wife. I have no idea what to do…
