Dear lybrate-user, If he stops lithosun, there are chances of your fiancee getting an episode of mood change. If it is manic episode, he may lose his name, fame and money. If it is depressive episode, he may lose his quality of life or even become suicidal. Episode free for 2 years, is not a criteria that he will not get another episode. It depends on how often he got his previous episodes, how long they lasted and how severe they were, etc. It is good that your engagement is postponed. You need to come to terms with his disorder and its treatment and take a valid decision about getting married to him for his strengths.
