LOL! Just saw your post and had to respond... You haven't threatened to staple his nuts to something have you? That's the first thing that popped into my mind! If he won't give it to you, make him do it and make it no fun for him!

To ask a delicate question, do you have a history of self endangering behavior? If so, I could see why he's concerned--sometimes our episodes are more frightening for our spouses than we realize.
If not, that's just weird. Well, actually its rational because every set of Christmas lights I've ever owned say not to staple gun lights up, maybe it has nothing to do with the bipolar?

My hubby took my razors away for a while, I couldn't shave my legs. But I deserved it. Bethann is right though, if you have no history of SI, then he has to reason to treat you like that.
No, I have no history of self injury,I think he is just as concerned and confused about the diagnosis as I am. Plus he know that if I have the staple gun I will be up on the ladder also and he hates it when I do that. I have always had a touch of ditz to me and he doesn't know when I am just in a really good mood or when I am manic.

I know from personal experience how much it can anger and frustrate you when you feel like you are being treated like a child. That said, I have learned the hard way, that it truly is the intention that should matter. If his actions were out of concern and love, the be grateful that he cares so much. Instead of getting frustrated, explain to him that everything is okay and that while you love and appreciate his concern for you, that being too concerned makes you feel worse. From what I can tell, he was not trying to make you feel worse. Maybe by acknowledging the hurt you felt to him, he will be more careful in the future to avoid making you feel belittled.
