wife is bipolar I need help

my wife has been diagnosed with depression and has been on meds for as long as I remember. recently things seemed worse and I found myself digging into her private life. I uncovered she has been calling a guy (almost daily) that I know she has been intimate with in the past and has even met him out for coffee (or so she says). I confronted her with this and she denied it until I showed her the proof. she got very upset and was crying, eventually I told her that I don't think I could forgive her or that we could be together anymore (it's been 10 years). she took a handfull of pills and I had to call 911. she is in the psych ward now. I met wioth the doctors and they indicated that they think she was misdiagnosed and is really bipolar and changed her meds to something that addresses this condition. they explained what people with bopolar do and it sounds just like my wife. She keeps crying and wanting me to take her back, she has not blamed her actions on her condition, she just says she doesn't know why she did it, and still denies having an affair, but admits to seeing him and calling him.
I have loved this woman more than I can express. I do not know how to feel, she acts like she loves me but I have lost all faith in what the truth is or might be. I don't know what to do and don't have anybody to talk to about this. can anybody help me?

Re: wife is bipolar I need help

My advice to you would be to take things slowly and not make any decisions redgarding this until your wife is feeling better. Sometimes people with bp do things they know are wrong, yet we just can't help ourselves- it's like compulsive behaviour, which can include flirting and other kinds of interactions.

Re: wife is bipolar I need help

Please take note of the 3rd and 4th notices posted by "sticky" on the rules for this board. This is a place for people who suffer with bipolar, not for others. I am sorry that you are having a problem with your spouse but this is not the place to post about it.
