Questions regarding my wife who has bi-polar disorder

...See more Hi, I'm new to this forum.  My wife was diagnosed bi-polar in March 2021. It has been a struggle trying to take care of her, our 6 kids, the house, animals and work a full time job.  Recently she cheated on me with a coworker and told me she wants a divorce.  I'm okay with the divorce, but her cheating hurts.  While we were arguing she told me that all i do is act passive aggressive towards her and take "jabs" at her to hurt her and she can't take it.  I was floored when she told me that as none of that is true.  I have done everything for her but everything i have done she turns it into a negative.  While arguing i told her she "delusional"  as none of it is true.  She can't remember simple conversations.  Our 9 y/o daughter got her flowers for her birthday.  I handed them to her and made sure i told her they were not from me and that our daughter picked them out.  (there's a bigger story with the flowers which is why i specifically mentioned they were NOT from me.) She swears that I never said that.  I was floored that something that happened 1 week ago she remembered it not the way it happened.  Is being delusional (sorry if that word is insensitive, but i don't know what other word to say) a symptom of bi-polar?  I'm just trying to understand what is going on because either i'm going crazy or she is.  Nothing she remembers is the way it happened.  I need help, please.
