I'm watching our 18 month old play with his toys in front of me while I write this. He brings us so much joy, and my wife's disease brings us so much pain. I just discovered another case of her infidelity yesterday. I can't hold back the tears any more, but I don't have anywhere else to turn. I can't tell my family or friends. What's worse, she's my best friend. I feel very alone in this. Thanks for reading.

Welcome to Psych Central Calgaryguy! I am so sorry that you are in such a bad place right now but I can understand why. Being Bipolar is very, very difficult and so is being married to someone who is bipolar. If your wife is not on medication then you should try to get her to go to the doctor so that she can get something to help her. You might also want to try to get her into therapy. You should post this in the forum for Bipolar. There are others there who can understand and give you tips on how to help your wife and yourself.

I'm dealing w bipolar 1 infidelity. My husband has serial cheated on me for 6 years and called me crazy whenever I accused. He finally came clean this summer. Only to turn around and go missing 2 days while we were supposed to go on a family camping trip w our sons. Turns out he was a mile away from home w some hoe bag who loves married men. It was devastating. I'm still dealing w it every day. I have a form of ptsd it's awful. He was diagnosed bipolar in the fall and on meds now but still struggles w fetishes and porn which is heartbreaking after the crush of confidence infidelity causes. I am so sorry u go thru this and u r a brave man to stick thru it.. honestly. It's really hard to view it as the sickness and not take it personally I know.
