do all bipolars cheat?

By diana Tuesday, April 06, 2010

I've been married for 4 yrs and my huband has bipolar he was taking meds but only for a few months then he got off them he now takes no meds. hes never really been very affectionate but our sex life has always been great but slowly hes been drawing away from me to the point where he doesn't touch me anymore and if I lean over to kiss him or touch him in anyway he carefully finds a way to move away, he even sleeps on his side of the bed and hardly ever lean towards my side, yet he always kisses me goodbye on my forhead every morning with out fail! I've put up with everything hes dished out as a bipolar person on a daily basis but I could not put up with an unfaithfull husband!  I've heard bipolars are cheater can anyone tell me if this holds true for all bipolar people ..? Thank you.

I have Bipolar

and I never once cheated on my husband during our 20 year marriage nor when we dated prior to that for 4.5 years

 

I don't believe I am the only 1.

Tabby, I do thank you for your responce to my question, I feel a bit releaved from having this on my mind.  My husband has never giving me any reason to doubt his fidelity however I don't seem to know why he is so distant from me I know those with bipolar need their space, but just how much space is enough.?

Hi,

I am happily married too...with bipolar...have been married for 27 1/2 years. Our bedroom relationship has had it's ups and downs...mostly ups! I don't think you have anything to be worried about. If he's going thru a down or more depressive time then he may not feel very amorous. It has nothing to do with you really. Stay calm and keep loyal. He probably feels bad about it. He loves you.
