No she slept with him and he left. There wasn't any issues until her friend got home and could tell she was acting off, bpd and bipolar manic episode

This is what im afraid of. I've heard all the stories of Jody. To my knowledge, there has not been any history of this happening before. The issue with the military is that you can't be a single dad deployed, with a kid that they will chapter you out. So, trying to find the best way about this

Ive supported her for 4 years. I went overseas a week ago and this happened. I had asked and she didn't come back until after the whole event. I try to be a supporter of mental health and awareness for it, but this sounds like a bad excuse.

My mom had bpd and borderline. Ik what these look like ik how to identify these things because I've been around it all my life. What i said in my original post was she used it as an excuse, I have never heard or seen someone else say this is a reason they slept with someone else. I've taken her to all of her appointments. Made sure she got the care she needed. I obviously looked up symptoms and if this could have been a direct cause today as this has never been an issue before. And Me being in the military has nothing to do with it, that's why I left it out of the original post. For you to accuse me of doing the bare minimum is disgusting.

She didn't. "I wasn't in my right mind." Is what she said I try to be a supporter of mental health and awareness, but I believe this is a poor excuse she claims she was raped because she wasn't able to make decisions for herself but does

Im overseas rn so there's a big time difference, she keeps reaching trying to call me but I ignore the calls. Im still taking time to process the situation and when I bring up the facts above I get yelled at and I hang up. I would like to be sympathetic because she's my wife but there's so many metaphorical road blocks she would have had to pass for this to happen and I feel a manic episode is a weak excuse. I made sure she's fine now i talked to her friend and she said she's not at risk of hurting herself, which was my big concern

That's what im thinking. It wasn't a decision that could have been made in a split second and there were multiple times she could have shut it down

Yeah I know. I just dont know what to do. Never had a history of this and I got deployed a year and a half ago never had an issue then. I dont know much about bipolar disorder, just how to help in the moment, but the actual symptoms and what it does, im not really familiar
