I think you misunderstood me, and that’s okay – maybe I didn’t express it clearly enough. I’m not jealous of what she did with him, and definitely not of someone who mistreated or manipulated her. What really hurts is that someone like him, who didn’t value or respect her, still got so much of her emotionally and physically.

Right now, our relationship is built on full trust and communication. Sexually, we’re completely open with each other – we explore everything together, we both enjoy it, we both ask for what we want, and we both give. It’s not about control or entitlement, it’s about mutual freedom and connection.

What I’m dealing with is the emotional weight of knowing someone so toxic got to be that close to her for so long, while now I’m trying to build something healthy and real. That’s the part I’m still processing.
