Yes, I was like that, and in my mind my strong sexual longing for my then husband proved that I was in love with him and justified all the bad things I did to him. Ultimately, he ended the relationship. I had untreated manias that contributed to how I abused him. My mania is under control now - see the med list - but it is too late. The keys is to accept that there is a problem and to seek help, before it is too late. But it is exceedingly hard to communicate this message to the BP person. My husband did not succeed in it.
