Obviously cheating on a spouse or SO is a painful subject. My husband was able to see that it was not the ME he knew that had an emotional affair, there was so much more going on than just that, it was the whole list of manic behaviors. I was not myself.
This is one place I really don't understand judgemental statements. This is supposed to be for support.

Of course hypersexuality can be a component of bipolar disorder (when in hypo/manic episode)! I've been through it myself. I'm just saying that the way it has been described, anyway, this doesn't sound like an 'episode.' (Hence my question about 'moment'). I and likely many others with bipolar disorder have had random sex with random people, felt super ...sexual let's say and/or attracted to someone, but outside of an episode. It happens. Human nature. I'm not dismissing the predicament or the pain, I'm very sorry for what the OP is going through, I'm only questioning the label.
