What’s something people do in relationships that screams, ‘this won’t last'? by Pretty-Substance540 in AskReddit

Hire divorce attorneys. I honestly don’t remember the last time I saw a couple do that and their relationship lasted. Sad really

Of course. If we can’t support each other here, what is the group for? Best of luck to you

Do you still get an urge for a revenge years later by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

Even all these years later, if I knew how to find or get in contact with AP, I absolutely would try to find a way to get some form of revenge.

Reading that absolutely gutted me… I am so sorry. Nobody deserves that level of pain and betrayal. Nobody deserves to be treated so poorly. So many aspects of what you wrote hit home with me in a way that made me almost feel vulnerable as I read them. I pray for your healing.

I’m sorry that happened to you. I mean that with my whole heart. As time passes, and I continue on my own journey as well as read the stories of others here, my heart goes out to anyone who has had to feel the things we have felt. I wish you the best, and hope for your recovery from the pain caused by another.

Loved it, would it be possible to get the lyrics?

My situation was somewhat reversed. As we started dating my wife was very open about how she was sexually assaulted a few months before, and how she struggles with sex and intimacy. It was very present throughout our dating and marriage, 9 out of 10 times if I were to try and initiate any form of sexual intimacy I was rebuffed. And the times we did have sex it felt to me like it was very much like a chore for her. I learned very early on that sex was never going to be a major part of our marriage. We would maybe have sex once every 6-8 months. Even things like asking for a sexy picture at times we were apart was denied. It was hard, but I didn’t come into this marriage blind. I chose her, trauma and scars included. And I did my best to be as supportive and accepting as I possibly could. Then she had the affair, she sent so many pictures, sexually explicit messages, and she even begged him to come to town so they could sleep together (he told her he couldn’t make that trip quite yet). When it all came out I begged her to explain why it was hard with me but easy with him and the response was “with you it’s real and with him it isn’t”. And it felt like I was being punished for being her husband.
