Hi Hab, that sounds like a huge challenge. It was clever of you to try to negotiate with him, to get him to try your way in return for you trying his way.
If it were me I'd probably just leave the guy, but I admire your willingness to stick by him. Have you considered just giving up on trying to get him to change? I agree he needs to be on meds, but it may not be possible for you to convince him. Do you have a therapist? Maybe you could get help defining boundaries for yourself, in terms of how you'll deal with the manifestations of your husband's illness.
