Welcome to the forums!
It sounds like you have a lot to sort out. That can be a very scary place to be.
The lessons that you can find to the right of this message are a great place to start. There is a lot of information to digest.
How much have you read about BPD and such? How long has she had these diagnosis?

JACtown425,
sounds like your world came only recently crushing down . Take your time to look around and read more. When ready maybe you can tell us a little more about your situation, whether there are kids, the affair and level of substance abuse.
Again welcome,
