It's not a trait of bipolar disorder. Being irritable can be a symptom, but being irritable doesn't equal being verbally abusive.
Abusive/cruel behaviour is simply that - it can be present in anyone, with or without a disorder.
You made a good choice in leaving him. You didn't leave him because he was manic, you left him because he was a cheating a**wipe who was verbally abusive towards you.
