Duped,
It's amazing their ability to suck us back in isn't it.   Mine said to me today, "i never told you no or denied you".  No he never told me no in words, he would just lay there and go to sleep.   He also told me that taking oral from me wasn't denying me which I might agree with if it hadn't been 6 months since we had had any sexual contact and he then roled over and went to sleep.   Mine is now playing the devastated husband that never knew I felt rejected....

No I didn't. I'm actually at a point that I want out, I just don't know how to have the conversation.   I feel lost in my own house.   He wants to save it.  She said today that she could confidently say that he is not a homosexual.   I don't know how to find a therapist that had experience with this.  Her focus really seems to be the porn addiction

She was my counselor and asked to see us together.   Why is it so hard to just walk away and say I'm done?

He's remorseful for the porn addiction, but the men he watched was only because his dad molested him not because he's sexually attracted to men.   It's frustrating to me because I felt like I was getting stronger and more determined and now the councillor makes it seem like he's ok and now I should forgive him.  The devil is planting doubts in my head because I keep bringing it all back up....  Those were her words not mine

Just had a joint counseling session with my GID Husband.  Feel like I'm drowning in all this.   All of the sudden since he says that his dad molested him it's all supposed to be ok...   I don't get it.   before the councilor met him she was sure that he had acted on his attractions.  Now she is confident he hasn't just because he says so and he was molested.  I should let down my walls and help him through this.   How does it change so quickly.   I called him out for still not being 100% honest and she said that admitting he was looking at men at all was enough.  She did call him out when he said he wasn't sexually attracted to men.  She said you have to be attracted at least a little or you wouldn't look.   Doesn't mean you are gay though.....   Then on the way home he said that he never rejected me for sex.  Never actually told me no.  And taking oral with nothing in return isn't rejecting....   Really???    This just all sucks,  How are they so good at making us fell guilty??  Sorry just needed to vent.

My husband makes the same claim.  He watched men Masturbate on periscope but he has zero sexual interest in men..... What?!?!?!?!. 

He's now claiming he was just trying to process feelings that were left over from being molested as a child by his father.  Which he never told me about until I decided to sleep on the couch instead of our bed and he realized I was serious this time.   They live in a world I don't understand.

Mine claims porn addiction as well.  Although yours has admitted more than mine is willing to.   My GIDH will only recently even admit to looking at any male porn even though I have seen more and more and more.  Just told me a couple weeks ago that he was molested by his father.  He is doing counciling with our pastor and recently went to see my therapist as well.    According to him he has no sexually desire for men at all and couldn't figure out why he watched men at all, but now it all makes since.... He's trying to deal with what happened to him as a boy.  He swears to me that he has completely given it all up.   Has no need for it anymore.   This is the 3rd time I've addressed it with him but the first time I made someone else, our pastor, aware of it.  Every other time he just denied.  Now that he knows I'm serious he tries to feed me just enough to pull me back in.   If that doesn't work he'll feed me a little more

Problem is, I don't buy it any more.    Regardless why he did it.  I've lived 13 years wondering what was so wrong with me that my husband didn't want me.   Wondering why sex was always so uneventful, so mechanical when it did happen( once every 3-4 months).   Crying myself to sleep....    I can't unremember all that.  I can't unsee what I've seen..  It's been a very slow process for me but I'm making progress.

My husband is the same way.  Prefers to receive oral, but not give.  If intercourse happened, during our active phase it was about once every three or four months, he wouldn't last more than 3 minutes either.   and once he was done it was over, he would roll over and go to sleep.   Only ever kissed me closed mouth, never passionately.  never passionate anything.  No desire, nothing... just mechanical.

Our kids have never been alone with him.  His parents are divorced and as much as I love his dad, I wouldn't trust him to keep the kids safe.   He's absent minded.   My husband tells me that he had forgiven him.  That's why he has a relationship now.   I hate feeling this way but I really don't believe him

So even though my husband still denies being sexually attracted to men or following the gay men that just appeared on his follow list on periscope, he felt the need to tell me today that his dad sexually abused him.   This is very hard for me to wrap my head around because he is close with his dad.  Talks to him everyday.  His dad is a bit backward, on the verge of mentally handicap.  He said he didn't know why he had never told me before and then said that something just told him yesterday that he should tell me.  He said maybe this is why all the porn....   Like I said he still denies watching the men, to which I told him I didn't believe him.   I don't want to be cold, but there is no doubt in my mind that he did.   I don't know how to process this information.  if it's true I feel bad for him, but why would he let our children be around this man if that were the case?  When he can look me right in the eye and lie, I don't know that I even believe this.  Maybe he feels me pulling further away.
