Q: Gay Or Bipolar ?
asked by: hollowgirl on March 3rd, 2009

We have been married 27 years. We have 3 children 25, 22, & 16. Last April he admitted to an affair with a woman. Then in October he admitted to getting oral sex preformed on him by men on occasion. Then he admitted about a month later to oral sex by prostitues. He has since been diagnosed bipolar and is on lithium. He says the urges are gone because he's taking his medicine. Is he gay or bipolar or bisexual or what?

Hi hollowgirl and welcome to ehealth: I would say he is horribly mixed up....I would also not have sex with him unless he wore a condom or give him oral sex nor receive it from him, until he is tested for STD's....

He sounds like he could be in the mid-life crisis....I am not sure how your relationship was with him prior to this happening, but the only thing you can do now is sit back and watch........

Good luck,
Caroline

Both
He can be both.
- he sounds bipolar (since he has been diagnosed). Check that he takes is medics every day
- he may be gay or bisexual
- when he is on a manic phase he may have risky sexual behaviour, so be careful.
