Ladies who dated someone with a severe mental illness, how did it turn out and how did you handle it?

I’m currently engaged to someone with bipolar. We’ve been together for over 4 years now. First few months he was in a huge low. Then 2 years in he hit another big low and it was scary. I was scared to leave for work. We now have moved in together and are getting married. he hasn’t had any major episodes. He’s unmedicated and sometimes that scares me for the future. He has moments when he feels very sad out of the blue, the other night I heard him crying in the living room while I was sleeping. I got up and hugged and talked to him for awhile. One thing I’m very thankful for is how open we both are. He has always been so honest with his diagnosis and when he is low. I don’t worry much but it really does suck when I can’t do anything to help. I love him very much and will always be there for him
