I realise everyone is different and my bipolar condition might not be as severe as your boyfriend's but I find a personal value system drawn from my own personal philosophy helps restrain me from getting up to nonsense. At the time of my last relationship my partner and I also had a binding relationship promise/oath that I took very seriously. Our relationship itself ended because of natural personality differences, not because of any cheating.

I also found that consciously trying to not allow myself to be put in risky situations that could lead to cheating was also helpful, as when there's limited opportunity then the possible challenge to one's manic desires is almost nil.
Thank you for your insight Hope Walker. My bf does not have a severe case of bipolar. I like your personal value system idea. Did you write anything down? My bf realizes he cannot put himself in situations likes these anymore. I just hope he sticks to that.
