I need advice...?!


Question: I am bipolar. I've been with my husband for almost 8 years and married one year. He has always dealt with me being bipolar, and although I say things I don't mean and I become very verbal with him he still stands by me, loves me. I love him so much and I know I am hurting him saying the things I say. I am getting better and he notices it, but new things are occurring. I know I would never commit adultery, but I think about it constantly. I know being promiscuous is part of bipolar, but it hurts me to know I think about/dream about being with other men and sometimes I feel like wanting to be with a woman. I know I am straight, so please no comments about me being gay or bi. I talk with him about these things because I am very open and he is open-minded. How can I get better? How have you or someone you know who is bipolar deals/dealt with it? I also get in moods thinking he isn't "romantic" enough, "loving" enough...etc... when in reality he truly is a great romantic loving man.


Answers: Well, for a bipolar person you're pretty normal then.

Millennia of conditioning has turned humans into sex machines. We mate out of season, both sexes enjoy climax and stimulation and evolutton has giftedd us with large brains, one of the most powerful organs in the promotion, execution and pursuit of sex. EVERYBODY thinks it. And so called homosexual thoughts are normal. 40% of straight women would apparently give it a go. Men think about it but don't admit to it. How to get "better", well doesn't sound like that part of you is sick. The real reason the human race doesn't promote thinking about other people is really because we'd rather not talk about it. Masturbation - do people often advertise they do it or talk about it - no. But most do it. Some people are turned on by unusual sex acts. Some people who can't do a particular thing with their partner might often fondly recall an ex who used to let them.

So in this regard: Morally we're obliged to say "that's terrible" so as not to promote it - but realistically a lot of people are thinking "me too" right now.

Men aren't very romantic. Eat, sleep, chase, sex - we're simple really. But don't despair - it's a great strength, the same one that makes us predictable, stable, dependable, safe - traits a bipolar person could sure use for their own benefit from time to time.

Cheers.
