Yes, thank you. It’s amazing

Yes, thank you. It’s amazing to me that my husband and I can laugh about some of this.
He’s very humbled by the pain he caused others, not just to me, but those women he selfishly used as objects with no intention of anything more.
He’s completely forthright and honest now, which is why we can laugh about his time of stupidly (as he likes to call it).
I was initially very upset that my trigger had something to do with someone of different ethnicity than me. I couldn’t even see a TV ad or movie without being massively triggered, no matter the honest talks I had with myself. If my husband was sexting with a woman from Mars, then Martian women would be my source of fear and trauma.
So glad that’s not the case now.
He said that subconsciously he chose women NOT like me so as not to replicate me, he loved me and wanted our marriage. He was in emotional pain and chose to numb it by acting out.
