My marriage is falling apart.

[selfdestructivelady]

I have bipolar 1 and borderline and am currently in the middle of a bad episode I have tried to take my own life recently. But dh has no family and no friends to turn to for support. We cut contact with his highly toxic family. We are both child hood sexual abuse victims. We have three school one disabled.

On the surface our marriage looks great but as hard as I try to make time to do things with dh he is always playing a particular game on his phone which I can't play because he has a android phone and I have a I phone.

We have other games consoles and I try really hard to play on them with him but he just zones into his phone. We spend no time together anymore but he says the online world on his game are his only source of support.

He has also admitted its hard to be around me long as I'm so depressed I can't afford for our marriage to end but at the moment we are just drifting further and further apart no matter how hard I try.

We even argue over contraception that's the only time we communicate is to argue.

hi there can you identify any support groups in your area for families of people with bipolar disorder. if your husband got support and felt that he wasn't alone, and you got some tips to help ye get over phases of your illness, then it wouldn't perhaps feel so cut off. zoning into the phone is maybe his way of feeling in control when other things are not in his control.

remember, this could just be a phase, it sounds like in other ways ye support each other and have much in common.

google support groups and get some advice and help.

marraiges can go through ups and downs.

Thank you I will give your suggestions a try.
