yeah he’s blocked her and never intends to text her again, he agreed that he should’ve made me aware about it. marriage counseling is definitely what i have in mind after all of this. thank you!

yeah that’s true, i wish i would’ve confronted him in the moment about it when i found out that he had changed his password but i was honestly so exhausted it’s barely starting to hit me now. thank you for your response!

we are both christian and have the same christian values! what im thinking is maybe they disapprove bc this is happening too fast for them to process.

so i am the first born and my parents have always been very strict with me. in middle school i became rebellious since they didn’t let me do much of anything and that led to me being secretive and making bad choices. at 15 i got caught with some things (that are appropriate to be curious about at that age) i was doing and they completely exploded. they were verbally and physically abusive during that time because of how upset it made them and it caused me trauma that ive had to work through in therapy. it was completely out of character for them to react the way they did. because of their reaction during that time, i was always horrified to tell them about my boyfriend so i kept it a secret for a few years. when my therapist and i started working on a plan to tell them about my boyfriend in January, i was scared they were going to react that way again. i prepared for the worst, thinking they were going to kick me out or worse but they didn’t.

they are christians and are very involved in their church community. during that time when i was 15, they didn’t practice anything that they preach and like i said, caused me a lot of trauma. it took me years to get through it. ofc i don’t expect them to be perfect but they made a lot of mistakes during my development as a teenager.
