 Paragraph header  (click to insert in post)

I am just at a loss as to what to do.  My husband was very recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.  He also, definitely has Bipolar I disorder and identifies as a sex addict and is an alcoholic.  The last year he has tried to find recovery, however, he has had slips and relapses with both.  We have been trying to salvage our marriage after the discovery of so many affairs, like 12.  The last one was by far the worst...lasting I believe 7-8 months.  He insists he was only in it for sex, but I am not sure what to believe, to me it looks like more than just that.  He was extremely alcoholic during his affair and rapid cycling through bipolar mania.  He has struggled with sex addiction/hypersexuality since early puberty, and tends to be very resentful towards me around sex.  He is currently in a treatment facility to address his dual addiction issues and mental health problems.  I just don't know what to do or how to move forward because he continues to gaslight me.  Is there any hope?  It feels like he has no remorse.  He says he wants to save our marriage, but all I do is find more lies.  I'm just sick about this.  We've been married 15 years and I feel like I'm just completely worthless to him.
