Husband (who’s bipolar) and I have been fighting off and on over the last two weeks. He’s under a lot of stress and taking it out on me. We have a one month old together and I’ve had to go back to work with the baby since three weeks postpartum because he didn’t want to be alone there without me. If I don’t go he makes my life very stressful... anything small he over reacts and makes me feel extremely guilty. I’ve been telling him for my own mental health he needs to stop before it lowers me to his level. He was relentless and yesterday I finally had enough and packed my bags for the weekend and went to my moms apartment while she is out of town at her other home. He obviously flipped out, showed up, kept yelling about how He needs his daughter, and even had to have a family friend therapist come and force him to leave. He childishly changed his relationship status to single and told me he is done and doesn’t want to work things out.

Unfortunately last night our mutual friend died of a heart attack in his sleep. Husband is beyond devastated so I offered to come have dinner with him at our home and talk about everything with him. He has said maybe a few sentences to me and has left me and the baby in the living room to go sit on his computer for the last hour.

I’m frustrated and not sure why we even came over. Im about ready to just go back to my moms because nothing was discussed about his precious behavior. Do I stay to offer him comfort (even though he hasn’t hardly talked to me) or do I just go back to my moms and let him continue to think about if our relationship is what he really wants?
