So AnnLee, you wouldn't be willing to sign a contract that says you will uphold your marriage vows - especially when you are absolutely insistent that you want to stay married? That you won't cheat on your spouse? That you won't go on wild spending sprees and hide bank statements? That you won't subject your family to dangerous situations? That you won't see your pdoc regularly for medication management rather than taking medication that's no longer prescribed for you or going off meds without consulting a pdoc? That you won't seek supportive therapy - especially when you are having difficulty? And, the type of therapy was up to you as we both know that if you don't agree with the approach, it's not worth it? You're fortunate that you're very self-aware as not everyone with BP is. My ex was not although he thought he was - especially when he was manic or very depressed. If it's been proven that your memory is faulty - e.g. claiming that some of your manic episodes never happened even though they scared you silly afterward, then would you really be adverse to agreeing to a "contract" that says you'll get help if you feel the urge to repeat these behaviors? It's not treating someone like a child, it's asking them to step up, act like an adult and take some responsibility.
