My wife has recently been diagnosed with Bipolar 2. She recently was caught by our 7 yr old daughter having sex with a guy at a Brownie meeting. That is right, She was caught in a unlocked room next to where there were 10 girls ages 5 to 9. She actually brought the guy home and introduced him to me. She told me that her usual ride stayed to clean up. She was acting as if nothing happened. The next day my daughter was telling me about the meeting and how she found mommy and the guy playing hide and seek. with her dress up and his pants down.. When confronted she denied anything and said he wanted to but they did not.
This has got to the most cold-hearted act I ever heard of . plus extremely risky behavior. She continues to deny anything happened. Is this normal behavior when hypomanic and has anyone had a like experience? |

Yeah that's pretty par for the course when it comes to hypomania considering if you just looked up the symptoms you would have discovered both hypersexuality and engaging in activities with potential for painful consequences are both listed as symptoms for hypo/mania, but maybe she just doesn't like you. That could be it if she's not showing any of the other symptoms like decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts/talking fast and loud, etc.

It’s not normal behavior. Hypomania and mania CAN influence your behavior, but everyone is responsible for their own actions. I have NEVER cheated on anyone before. I would NEVER do it, even if I were extremely manic.
The fact she denied it and then tried to cover it up with an excuse (“oh, he wanted to, but we didn’t!!”) means she knew she was wrong but did it anyway. I’m not saying you should dump her or not. You have to come to that decision yourself. But hypomania and mania are NO EXCUSE for doing that. |

No just no
Having Bipolar and in an episode can make a person WANT to do things but unless that person is completely utterly delusional then she made a Choice. When I’m hypo I want to buy buy buy things , but I have to remind myself it’s irresponsible. It’s a choice. She can blame Bipolar all she wants but nope nope nope Is she in treatment for it?? If so when she started to go up into a hypo/Manic state she needed to be responsible and get with her Doctor for additional help medication wise and see her Therapist. Just a side note , since this happened you might want to be checked for STD’s because this might not be the first time she’s done this. I’m very sorry this is happening to you. You might want to consider seeing a Therapist yourself to help you process what’s happened. __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Neither of us has stepped outside our marriage like that. He has had an emotional affair (with a person he wants to re-connect with. :0 ) We have a rough relationship at times but when we work we really work. Taking responsibility even in a mood swing is important.
