I can't speak as a spouse or significant other, as I am not in such a relationship, but speaking as someone who has people who care about her who got freaked out after my hospitalization last summer, I know how you feel. IMO, what this calls for is a little education about the mania. Do you have a psychiatrist and/or a therapist? Perhaps a joint session with one of them is in order, so your hubby can get his questions answered. I suspect he's questioning you out of fear - he can't read your mind, and he's probably wondering why he perhaps missed the 'signs' before, so he's looking at anything and everything with suspicion.
If a joint session with a pdoc/therapist is not an option, perhaps you could find some articles or something about bipolar/mania online that he could read.
Just a few thoughts.
