My wife ran for most of her life, living in dozens of places and going from job to job on a monthly basis. Today, it is the stability of a husband, kids, home, career, dog, and way too many cats that anchors her and gives her purpose. Some would call it routine. She calls it a life preserver. We have our setbacks, but she is in control much more than she is out.

The experience of having a spouse use you and your manic state to find sex partners outside marriage is one I have read about before. Having an MI does not mean you have to be abused or taken advantage of! Ask yourself if you are better off with him or without him. If the answer is without, find a therapist to give you the strength to leave. And dont' just walk away homeless; an attorney will help you take what is rightfully yours with you. You deserve that much!
