Husband outed me as Bipolar

So me (43F) and my husband (47M) have been together for 14 years, married for 9. I was diagnosed with BP2 6 years ago (Diagnosis after my first hospitalization). I’m very sensitive about my diagnosis and my husband knows it. I don’t like anyone to know that don’t have to, as I’m a professional in a very competitive field and even though I know there shouldn’t be a stigma but in my world it’s there.

We’ve had a lot of issues recently and after a recent episode (very brief, no hospitalization) he decided to post on Facebook that I have bipolar disorder. He said it was to gather his own support from family and friends. He eventually removed the post (after I had to beg him a couple of times)

I feel so betrayed, embarrassed, and angry. We haven’t talked in over a week. How would you feel? What should I do? I don’t think there’s any defending this move.

Im thinking about divorce (We don’t have kids and live in a modest apartment so no big financial issues).

How can I trust this man again? Thoughts
