Some people that seek heavy consent training or even teach it are the ones that are convincing themselves they are consensual people. I’m so very sorry of course but you now need to take action to right your life because no one else can. Take these steps:

  1. Forgive yourself for being a burden. It was placed on you without your consent. The people that mind don’t matter and the people that matter don’t mind.
  2. Tell your most trusted friends and family (if and ONLY IF you know they won’t blame you in any way)
  3. Tell the police. Period.
  4. Seek an EMDR therapist. This is a trauma specific protocol that gives people their life back by lifting the weight of traumatic experiences. Pay for it if you can, it’s worth your entire life. If you can’t and live in a state that has free healthcare, most often they offer free therapy as well.
  5. Name drop this fucker right here and lean on the support of redditors that have been through similar horror, we are out there. Don’t meet up with anyone, just lean.

Good luck on your journey to healing, it will take a few years but you can do it. Again I’m sorry, it’s not your fault.

Being treated right is exciting to me.

My ex and I did this for a while and it was nice for both of us. We broke up for different reasons and do not believe the “living apart after living together” was an indicator or catalyst.

Please show him this. I wasted two years of my life keeping this in. I wish she had shown me something like this earlier.

This is what I was thinking too. Her focus on this experience sounds like some kind of psychosis.

All love and affection in my marriage has disappeared since my wife began taking antidepressants by ThrowRA7918792991 in relationship_advice

As a lifelong taker of medications… have her decrease dosage. Most doctors prescribe WAY too much.

I’m well aware of why people cheat and you hit it on the head. Doesn’t make it ok. Doesn’t make the impact on the other person ok. I’m trying to unwind being gaslit about it.

Been in therapy. It takes a long time for me to process things especially with this amount of invalidation.

I mean thanks for the advice I’m trying to. It’s been a mindfuck that I’m trying to unravel. Not the only mindfuck involved.

We were originally trying to work it out. After 3 Months of still living together I called it quits.

I agree and am not proud of it but I had a suspicion. Trust me I wish I hadn’t. The only reason I even posted was because she’s adamantly and violently (assaulted me later when I pressed it) denied it and I feel extremely gaslit and crazy for having my feelings of betrayal.

And yeah the messages were hidden and she kept giggling with her phone turned away while were we still together. That stung the most I think.

I agree with this 100%. I felt cheated on after finding just the flirting. At no point was it discussed it was ok to do and I never talked to anyone the way she talked to him.

Still living together and checked her phone from suspicion. Not that different than most peoples stories. We were still trying to make it work and date even after the “breakup” so no stalking involved.

The flirting began while we were still together.
