Still Love Her

so my wife of 4 years and partner of 6 years, recently got separated. the morning before, she said nothing to me, i asked what's wrong and she blew up. she said all kinds of hateful things to me, saying she hates me, i made her hate me, i'm mentally abusive to her. i'm the cause of her bi-polar and BPD dissorders. i'm not the one for her, that i didn't put forth any effort into the marriage. true, i didn't make the best money and only part-time, but i tried, i honostly tried my best. i appologized to her that i couldn't afford her her dream house. i told her that i couldn't do it by myself, that i needed her help. she said it's up to me to put forth that effort, she has her job taking care of the baby and babysitting in exchange for our rent. she said her job was to take care of the baby, my job was to take care of them. i know this, everything i could do i did for them, but for her to say that i didn't care, breaks my heart. i've been told to just let her go, but it's easier said than done, i was told just to avoid her, and it tears at me not knowing how she and the baby are doing. and no matter how hateful she is, she's still the mother of our child, my best friend, my lover, my wife. i still love her so very much and it hurts.

"...bipolar disorder..." - I can only imagine your confusion to what has been said and done over the course of your relationship to your spouse. I can offer the following merely as information so that you can at least start to get a handle on the mental issue noted by your spouse. "It's not known what causes bipolar disorder. But a variety of biochemical, genetic and environmental factors seem to be involved in causing and triggering bipolar episodes..." Hence, you may have a factor in her condition but this is NOT fully understood and you should realize that you cannot take blame or punish yourself for her revelation to you in this regard; although, accpetance of your part in an abusive relationship is a good first step in finding solutions to your life. Wish you well...

You have to realize things will in fact get better,but it takes time.It is most likely a good idea to get away from it for now like I assume you are.Just take the time to work on you right now,like a job,housing,ect... It will all work out just maybe not on your time table but its key that you KNOW it all will work out for the best.Do not do things for her,changes made to impress someone else are not "real" changes.You will look back on this as the best thing that ever happened to you one day....Now if I could only apply this advice to my life.LOL..I have been seperated for almost a year and see my wife and kids 3 days a week.I even sleep over,its not easy at times but it is getting better.Although there is little chance of us ever being a couple again,we both see the importance of remaining parents to our kids...I will keep you in my prayers,just relax believing it will get better for you soon.

This is so sad to read. I'm so sorry for you. There seems to be many things going on here though. You mention bipolar. How do you know she isn't having an episode right now? I'm sure you've gone thru this with her in the past, right? Why aren't you seeing your child? Where are you living right now? Have you tried counseling?
