Hi, thank you for the response Cadet. I have been GALing and had been doing pretty well but . . . last week, a I talked to a friend of ours who was also concerned about my H's mental state. It was someone he respects so I emailed H and said that his friend, as others, were worried about him being bipolar and asked him to talk to him and think about it. That was last Thursday. I heard nothing from him since them except I just got an email today saying only that he regarded the marriage as irretrievably broken and attaching a joint petition for dissolution and asking me to file for divorce with him. I responded by email and simply said that I did not agree that the marriage was irretrievably broken and that I would contest any divorce. His last several emails-- before this-- even said that he still loved me. This response was from a man who swore to me repeatedly when we got together that he would never leave me or even put the relationship in jeopardy. I am guessing that my email made him angry. But, I promised when me married that I would stand for him and he does seem to need help and I don't know what to do. He's not working, just sitting at his home doing nothing all day. I know that I've probably violated every DB rule in the book but I really don't know what to do now. Any thoughts? Please help.
