If that is a legit diagnosis, read this:

Be prepared for her to "freak out" and in this case I would advocate finding another residence as she will probably try and get you for DV. Look up how women character assassinate husbands online during divorce. Also google "how to fire your wife".

I'm in the process of this. It's very difficult. She over reacts to everything and is constantly on the attack. I agree that I've I'd got nerds to find a new place to live.
Get yourself into counseling so you have a place to talk about her to someone who will understand and not judge.
If kids are involved, make sure they do not become her target for emotional support since that has probably been you.

FYI: my week, while out of town for business. Monday: I'm an asshole for abandoning her. Later in the day she's polite and asks if I can help her. When I don't I'm cold and mean. Tuesday: nice again. she aks me not to be cold and mean, then proceeds to call me names and accuse me of things for no reason.
Wednesday: no contact (thank god) Thursday: how is your trip. Send me pictures. Hope you're having fun....

Wow! Similar to my ups and downs. First calling me an asshole, giving me the finger, telling me I’m a dreamer who never gets anything done (Small note, she is kind of a hoarder, clothes piled 3 feet high in closet, clothes over every inch of bedroom floor and such) but I’m the total asshole because I won’t clean up.

Then the silent treatment for days then suddenly back to normal like the entire thing didn’t even happen.

If I tell her she really needs to get help or suggest she is being verbally abusive she says, “That’s just ridiculous”

Hard to live with and it just gets worse.

Unfortunately, it does not get better. In these type of situations, the big hump is getting the bipolar person to admit they have a problem and get help and them sticking to it. But that is if you're planning to stick around tho. Just be prepared for the ups and downs this is going to cause by her moods. Her moods will affect you. Don't let it. Remember, observe but don't absorb meaning, don't let emotions get the best of you. Pretend you got a clipboard and a lab coat and just observe. Don't get sucked into the drama that will follow. If shes not on medications, just be prepared for anything. Have 911 on speed dial, this is not only for your safety but hers as well if she decides to try to make a point across.
