I'm on a break as you know but I just wanted to offer my support and thanks to you for this post. My hypersexuality mixed with lack of insight, impaired judgement and specific delusions caused me a lot of problems in the past before I was diagnosed. And a few small one since being diagnosed but I just didn't understand certain parts of the illness at the time. I've never cheated but this has been luck in a lot of ways. Bring manic in the wrong place at the wrong time could prove disastrous. I'm very lucky I never cheated but I had some close calls I wish I could talk about on here but know I cannot based on some replies made in the past which demonstrated that many with bipolar simply don't have the same lack of insight, delusions and judgment issues I have when manic. They simply cannot understand and I need support, not judgement. I'm very lucky to be married to a man I can be very honest about all of this with. It's so helpful and he understands which is more than I could ask for. I'm glad your wife allows you to be honest too and I wish you all the best. I must avoid certain situations when manic and hypersexual too, so I get that and want to congratulate you for learning about how your illness works for you and designing specific methods to help in your specific situation. Best of luck and support to you and your wife.
