You could have mood swings that are entirely mormal if you live with a man or someone else that is abusive.\nOn the other hand if some days you are really depressed and other days you are hyper and don't need more than a few hours of sleep and your thoughts race and you talk nonstop and you are super confident and on top of the world then you could be manic.\nThe only way to tell is to go to a psychiatrist who treats bipolar patients and let him evaluate you.\nJust having your husband say you have bipolar if he is not a psychiatrist is a way for him to verbally abuse you.\n\nI suggest you read "The Verbally Abusive Relationship" which is available on http://www.amazon.com .\nIt will explain exactly how statements like this are abusive and tell you how to handle it.

Do you really think you should be on here saying this? Maybe you should be going to talk to your hubby about it and you never know he may feel the same way. How would you feel if he saw this and found out that way before you even talked to him? Think about it.

Let me impart some advice to not so much you especially as your husband...See a doctor man!! That's the remedy.

I don't intend to me mean, but it sounds like the issue is yours and not his.  Okay - so he isn't as affectionate, but he sounds affectionate enough.\n\nHe isn't the same guy he was years ago.  Let's face it, the testosterone levels of a 20-yr. old would kill him today.  His body just couldn't take it.\n\nLook - talk to him about it - let him know your needs.  It sounds like he will do what he can to accommodate.  However, if he really loves you and takes good care of your kid, you have it better than 90% of the rest of us.  Be happy in that.\n\nGood luck.\nC

It could be diabetes.  Check out http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-symptoms.jsp\n\nDepression: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/healthinformation/depressionmenu.cfm\n\nHigh Blood Pressure:  http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=2114\n\nand any of those things can lead to erectile dysfunction:  http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/impotence/\n\nIt may be an affair, or that he's not as invested as he should be, but it could be a signal that something medical is amiss and needs to be checked out.  Of course, you must be sensitive in how you approach the subject.  He could very well be avoiding you because he's embarrassed about it.\n\nUnresolved anger or repressed anger may be an issue.  How well do you communicate with each other?  Would he be open to counseling?\n\nI hope you find the cause and have a resolution soon.  For the sake of his health, try to find a discreet way of getting him to the doctor, just in case.  It could be a sign of a serious health concern.

Well I suggest calling your doctor first. Then she/he can rule out any thing. You might have to take a blood test.\nBasically all of your medical history and his. Not to mention both familes too.  Good Luck!

well that hasn't happened to me... but my advice to you is to be happy with yourself... and honestly it sounds like you husband is a little insensitive. He should be your best friend... if anything he should be the only person you are NEVER embarrassed to do anythign arround. A husband and wife is a team... they should be the other half to yourself, and you should always be comfortable with yourself (and the other half of yourself.)  If you feel you fat, then maybe you should look into losing wieght... try eating small meals more freguently throughout the day and exercise. \n\nMost importantly you should talk to your husband... become best friends.... \n\ngood luck sweetheart... and remember short, tall, skinny, fat, blonde, burnette, redhead, whatever you are BEAUTIFUL for who you are.

keep yourself busy and focus on yourself. Don't do this with negative intentions or malicious reasons - like i'll show you. I can relate. I used to give my man shit all the time for no reason. The only thing jealousy leads to is wasted energy and will only leave you feeling worse. I hate to say it , but this boils down to insecure feelings on your part and you know how you hate it when he says " you are just insecure". focus on spending time w/ family and friends, job, goals...this behavior will bring you and your husband closer.  Just communicate, don't give up, You just need to love your man smarter not harder

If the doctor says dont worry I would believe him.  You may be having a very extended menopause

It is likely hormonal.  It sounds like your body may be manufacturing too much testerone which will produce hirsuitism in females.  \n\nYou may have to go to an endocrinologist (a really specialized internist) to figure out what the problem is.\n\nHowever, regarding your guy, if you don't feel you can talk about this with him now, before you are married, then you may not be in  a friendship relationship with him.  Friendship before marriage makes for a more stable marriage, according to some experts.  In other words, if he does not love you the way you are now, with your minor (stress the minor) imperfection, is he likely to love you more after you are married? \n\nI think you may want to discuss it with him before you are married.  It may not be as big an issue with him as you think.  I was 165 pounds when my husband married me in 1990 and I am 218 and diabetic now.  His love has grown over the years, not diminished.

If you go to your doctors {Primary Care Physican} and let Dr. know your concerns thats the first plcae to be evaluated, and the doc can take it from there and either referr you to another kind of Doc or treat you.\nBest Wishes\n\nP.S.\nSince you have recognized possible bipolar please \n"dont let it control you and lean on it as a crutch through life..." \nmeaning dont blame everything on having  B P...\n\nI have a close family member-teenage years-and she tends to act out more than ever and always says I cant help it \nits B.P. \nI suspect she is using it as an excuse to get her way with mommy n daddy,\nshe is now at the dating age and wants to run off with her boyfriend and gets away with it cause she blames it on B.P.\n\nSo please dont let it control you, YOU CONTROL IT!!!

Some jitters and questioning are normal and I do not think you are over the top on that. There are things you may want to change about yourself by not nagging as much. All men are moody and only you know if you will be happier with him. The mother in law issue could bring real unhappiness and she is way over the top. I have to ask myself why he would tolerate her screaming at you. You are marrying a family as well as your husband.

Your husband may have a mental disorder but he still has rights and if he is being released the agency must feel he can function in society.  This does not mean they are right but they are only following the rules of the agency.  If the doctor felt he should still be hospitalized they would ask for a Judicial Commitment. They can not keep him if they believe he is better.  It is unfortunate that your husband is not giving you more information or including you in the discharge plane because it may help ease some of your fears. Since you do not have any proof that your son has seen your husband acting out sexually it may be difficult to prove.  Also, I don't see how the therapist could have you son removed if he has no proof of abuse. What he has is a possible event in which your son saw your husband participating in cyber sex.  How many children have walked on their parents having sex? I am not saying your reason is not valid or a reason for concern I am just saying it just may not be consider abuse or neglect. \n\nSo where does that leave you and your son? You are his mother and if you feel he has been affected by your husband sexual voyeurism please do everything possible to protect him.  Do you have your own income, can you move out, is there a friend or family member you can stay with.  Are you afraid of your husband?  You may need to contact a women's shelter if you have run out of options.  It may also be possible that your husband has gotten better but his disorder is too difficult for you to manage.  If this is the case it may be time for you to start taking steps to dissolving the marriage and living on your own.  It is very difficult to live with someone with a mental disorder especially someone with an Axis I of DID.  I know right now you feel lonely, frustrated, and angry.  It may appear that everyone is looking out for your husband but there are know options for you son.  If I were you I would call child protection myself to start an investigation go with your guts because it is better to be safe than sorry.

Go to your doctor it may be more then what you think

Wow. Is he such a moron that he can't figure out that you're hurt by his actions? That you're human and have some feelings? How could he think you would possibly want to have sex with him when he treats you like that? No, nothing about this makes any sense at all, honey. Especially why you'd want to be with someone who treats you like this. Of course, it could be that he feels like he's being neglected because of your children taking up your time. Maybe you need to get him to go to couples counseling. But don't stay with someone who makes you feel this way, or you WILL become bitter. Also, don't put on a facade for him, or fake how you're feeling. Don't lie to yourself that things will get better, and don't pretend. I wish you good luck.
