Has anyone lost a long term marriage (27 years here) to your Bipolar 2-hypomanic/hypersexual infidelity? My husband can no longer take the roller coaster ride and has lost all trust in me since I admitted to cheating more than a few times. We've been separated 9 months, tried to reconcile monthly, did counseling, but I still wasn't stable so nothing worked. I was finally diagnosed 4 months ago (finally an answer to WHY??) and with a mood stabilizer I now feel like a different person, but he says it's too late. I truly feel like I could finally be the wife I always wanted to be, but he can't take any more hurt, which I of course understand after all I've done. I have no self esteem left, no friends, and will carry the shame of hurting a very good man who didn't deserve it for the rest of my life. Bipolar feels like a death sentence right now.
