Default bi polar husband is very insistant about selling home

Hi, I am new to this board and I have an issue with my bi polar husband who has developed an aversion to our home and insists on selling it. He actually started feeling this way about six months after we bought it. There is no specific reason attached to this feeling - he just does not want it anymore.

For various financial reasons, we cannot sell our home right now. He acknowledges these reasons, but insists "I just want to." He does not care that selling the house right now is irrational and would be financially very unwise. When I try to reason with him about this, he just gets angry and makes a lot of accusations about how ihs life is miserable and it is all my fault.

I am beyond frustrated First, these same kinds of problems have come up so many times before that I am certain that we sell the house to accommodate his feelings, he will just come up with some other drastic thing we need to do to make him happy.

His therapist is trying to work with him on his "rigid" thinking style but I have not seen any positive changes over the last two years they have been seeing each other. Does anyone have any advice on how to cope with this? I would like to make reasonable joint decisions about our home.
