Yup I was one of those, and so ironic that a day later my H played that same card. I mean who stays married for friendship? Similarities between my H and your W are ever growing. My H told me about a week ago I'm the only opinion he values or listens to, the only person he cares about what he/she thinks and thinks about him. Obviously he has a deep tie to me, just not a physical or romantic one. That's really nice to be needed and wanted like that, but I want more from him and the void of that is too painful to be friends. And to be honest the pain of the cheating and his brushing it off, and stating there is more beyond that...I just don't know if I even want this. Not like I have to decide. I already know I don't want him like this and he shows no sign of changing or growing or remorse.
I think whatever it was in his past was something when he was young, which is why I thought it was abuse against him. I think it is blown way bigger in his head and my guess would still be abuse against him that he is thinking he let happen or wanted to happen. Who knows. He has always been a sweet loving and honest person who cares and does so much for friends and family. Hard for me to think he did something unforgivable as a kid that he has hidden all these years.
