You should never have unprotected sex with anyone even if you feel like they can be trusted. Unless you're already married to the person, never risk it for your own good. It's guilt that making you feel depressed.
It's only a goat that would feel like it's possible for someone to be in love with two person at once in a sexual manner. It's a trait capable of dogs.
Absolutely, kids often carry the emotional weight of their parents conflicts, even if they don’t show it. It can really shape how they feel and interact with the world.
I haven’t experienced relationships like that myself, but it sounds like you’ve got a really clear sense of yourself now and that makes handling stuff like cheating feel less hurtful for you.
Thank you for sharing this. What you went through was real trauma, and it makes complete sense that it left lasting scars. I’m really glad you and your children are safe now and that you finally have love, support, and space to heal.
That’s totally fair. Knowing your limits matters, and if monogamy feels healthier for you, that’s the right choice. No need to force yourself into something just because it works for others.
The person who lives that way will perpetually be disappointed and sad. I feel pity for anyone who decides to suffer by their own doing in such a sick manner.
If someone who's depressed comes into a closed office space with a therapist, they will find out from interacting with them. It's not a rocket science. If they see someone walking on the road, they're never going to find out by just looking at them.
