Well, one thing to keep in mind is that different people have different manifestations of their hypomania/mania. There are plenty of BPers that don't go that route. Maybe it's over-the-top unrealistic projects, or overspending on WTH things, or.... etc etc. and any combination thereof. Point is, it doesn't necessarily manifest in cheating.
Personal experience? Was with ex for 25 years. 25
unmedicated years, mind you... and didn't cheat. Hypomania a-plenty, it just took about every other form.
Point is, it's not a given. Hope that sets your mind a bit at ease.
