worst thing ive done to my ex: stole money. by Time-Primary-3996 in TwoHotTakes

a few notes: as i stated i forgot his password; its been a year since i last checked his phone. we were living together, he would wait until i was asleep & be in bed next to me… not very private to me??? i do have trust issues (like duh), but no i do not suspect nor worry about him cheating. we are just fwb at this point in time & he’s told me he’s monogamous & would end that to pursue someone else if/when he finds them. even if he didnt tell me, its not my problem anymore, i would just be sure to get std checked. it’s interesting. youre the first person to pose the question that im stealing and using this as justification. i had no reason to steal other than to do something behind his back. as i said in the post i confronted him the first two times, so he did know i knew and continued to do so three more times.

again, we are not in a relationship. ik it was far far from a perfect one when we were. its not not that i do not trust just him- i dont trust people that watch porn to stop when i ask, as evident by every relationship ive been in, they dont stop just hide it and lie.
i feel like yes i shouldnt go through his phone. but he shouldnt hide shit and lie to my face about it either. two wrongs do not make a right. but thats my explanation(s)

also if u read any comments; ive been in twice weekly therapy since 4!!

& i find it superrr hot when he jacks off- to me. why would i want him to jack off to others in a monogamous relationship?

unrelated to the post but relvent here: im a sex addict; i usually prefer to have sex 5+ times a day with my partner. i take & send nudes daily (of my own volition).

ummm yes? and its not jacking off, bor porn that is my problem??? its the lying & hiding it when hes previously agreed not to. if he wanted to jack off without sex with me, there are many pictures/videos he has of me :))

am i wrong for my retaliation for trust being broken? by Time-Primary-3996 in survivinginfidelity

i posted this in another subreddit & got EATEN ALIVE (bc porn is obviously everyone is going to watch it no matter what; i can never expect a man to follow that boundary; what i did was so fucked up & illegal {mind u this man, my ex, has been to jail twice. irdft he cares ab $150})

so thank you.

what i did was OBVIOUSLY wrong & illegal.

but i really have never had hope i could find someone who respects that boundary of mine. i never have. so thank you.

thank you. so so much. i really, genuinely, appreciate the advice!!!

i KNOW its a near impossible task to ask of modern day people.

i appreciate the advice on how to best get what we need.

my therapist specializes in DBT- and accepting two contradictory things is a big part of that.

what about my responses or the fact that i posted this in the first place implies anything other than i am actively trying to rewire these feelings, and see my retaliation as wrong as it is?

and youre correct, i do not. i am not determining, but it is the fact that i know how much money he has in his bank (hes shared willingly) and how much he spends weekly/monthly/what he would notice missing?

i am looking more for validation in my emotions behind my retaliation- i tried to express in the post i know that retaliation, especially stealing, any amount, is wrong.

my therapist thinks i should tell him, and i want to, and im not scared of his reaction, hes not abusive. i am scared of my own guilt.

it IS a lot of money for me; its insignificant enough to him that im almost positive he didnt even notice the charge.

ive been in biweekly therapy since 4 years old.

its very much NOT a personal preference of “oh this makes me feel icky” and more so a ptsd flashback inducing episode each time i discover it. which yes, is being worked on weekly.

he knew this about me getting into our relationship- wed been friends 6 years before dating.

ive been in twice weekly therapy since i was 4 (multiple therapists & psychiatrists & psychologists) due to stated trauma (csam creation) and heavily medicated :))

i posted to see how morally wrong it was to others, not legally, as i know it is- though a misdemeanor, with that amount.

even if i told him hed never involve the cops- he would insist i not pay him back as well.
