My issue is that any woman I meet, the only way she can gain my trust is through copious amounts of sex.
Interesting perspective that I never thought about...
I am actually not sure how I feel about it one way or the other. Because the sex was great at the beginning with my gay husband. It was later that it all went to hell. It's funny, cuz at the beginning he wanted it all the time. So I don't know what type of barometer that is...
At this point I can't imagine actually having sex with another person and currently don't want to. But for me it's the trust thing. I just can't picture trusting another man enough.
Ironically, my gay husband truly believes he is going to find the love of his life and get everything he wants. Probably because his side of the relationship all he got was unconditional love and support. And someone who gave everything they had to the relationship. So he got to experience the love, support, all the good parts of a relationship. And he feels he will just be able to go out there and find all that, just with a man instead of me.
Me on the other hand got to experience being used, lied to, gaslit, and the incredible stress, destruction and anxiety of finding out all this was happening to you for years and you had no idea. Not to mention he's the one doing the dumping. So I also get to get dumped by the man who promised to love me forever. Like, I got nothing good in any of this. Besides that fact that I'm so fucked up it's not even funny.
Just another way this is all so ridiculously unfair I guess.
