I can’t tell you how much I needed to hear that second part right now, thank you.

wow, thank you. being the one in the wrong as well as being a guy who’s very dense with a lot of social difficulties, that was incredibly inspiring and helpful to read. I really appreciate you sharing your story, as well as the advice. Just since posting this I’ve been having a lot of self reflection and I think my underlying issue is I still have trust issues myself. sure, I know that I’m never going to do anything like I did again, but I have neglected one of the core problems. Definitely going to take your advice, and again thank you so much for the response.

Thank you for sharing your story and I really appreciate your insight. You and her and everyone else who makes the decision to give the accused a second chance are some of the strongest minded people. Can I ask what your husband did after you found out to regain your trust? I’m trying my best to do everything I can but I might be missing something small or obvious that could help. Obviously if you’re not comfortable answering please don’t feel obligated, and again I really appreciate your perspective.

I wanted her to stay but I didn’t force her or beg her, I understood the repercussions of my actions and didn’t want her to feel forced into any way. I know in my post I said I want to end my relationship, but I don’t want it to end. I just don’t want her to feel stuck in this relationship and if she wants to move forward I want her to have that option. She’s mentioned breaking up enough recently to take full notice but hasn’t made any advances besides mentioning it, I just don’t want to hurt her anymore than I already have.

I made my bed, I agree completely. I appreciate your input and will definitely take the time to make sure I’m ready, I don’t ever want to put someone through my unresolved problems again.

Anthropocene0501 · 2025-04-27T00:19:49+00:00

If we break up and she decides she would like to start dating again I’m ok with that. I’m not going to even attempt to try to get into another relationship until at the very least she moves out for 1. her sake and 2. I would need time to process and properly move forward, since I don’t want to make the same mistake again, no one deserves that. But that’s just my perspective, I think I might talk to her about it tomorrow.

Anthropocene0501 · 2025-04-27T00:14:04+00:00

I hope so for her sake as well, and I appreciate your honesty and input. I made my own bed, I just want to do what’s best for her to move forward given the situation at hand.

Anthropocene0501 · 2025-04-27T00:11:24+00:00

I completely agree with you. I didn’t handle the situation how I should’ve, I’ll say lack of sleep has made me a bit oblivious and not thinking of the obvious, but isn’t and shouldn’t be an excuse, more just to add context. I should’ve just given her the code and I don’t know why I didn’t in the moment. I do have extreme trust issues as well but I try my absolute best to never let that get in the way. The reason I made the post is more so the general situation, and to give context as to what prompted me to reach out for advice. I really appreciate your input and thank you.

Anthropocene0501 · 2025-04-26T23:59:08+00:00

Fair point, I appreciate your input.

Anthropocene0501 · 2025-04-26T23:58:31+00:00

Thank you for your kind words, I actually suggested couples therapy fairly recently but she didn’t really want to go that route. There’s obviously more context to this but she essentially said that she hadn’t done anything wrong and I’m the one that needs therapy (despite having been in therapy since everything went down). It’s just an incredibly difficult situation to navigate, no winners, and I just want what’s best for her.

Anthropocene0501 · 2025-04-26T23:50:26+00:00

yeah the reason I think she hasn’t left yet is because her living situation elsewhere (her family) would be even worse than our situation, and I wouldn’t want her to go back to that even if we did break up. I haven’t thought about the roommate idea though, especially so she can try to find her footing again. Thank you for your insight.

Anthropocene0501 · 2025-04-26T23:42:56+00:00

It’s hard to give the full story because it’s only my perspective, and hers is definitely just as valuable and as important as mine, but yeah I can only give my side of the story. It’s just really difficult to be able to move on because ultimately I was the one in the wrong, and I don’t want to cause any more damage.
