I know someone who is literally going through this RIGHT NOW. So similar, it’s chilling. And I have no judgment for her because she has only just revealed (and maybe only just realized) that her husband is emotionally and verbally abusive. No one had any idea until now, and I’m sure she made excuses and rationalizations about it for years (as I have done, too, with past partners).
Affairs are a tricky business that are far more complicated than we make them out to be. And yeah, not always wrong.
I’m so sorry you went through this. The scene of him throwing up…I could feel how alone and dark you felt. I wish we could all go back and hold the hands of all the women who have gone through something like that — make sure they know they are not alone.
You’re a strong warrior queen. ❤
