Ovr, that took some courage to come clean about your exGF. I’m sure that was a weight of your chest and a relief that W didn’t take it too hard. I think many LBH have skeletons in the closet that we are holding on to. For me, I think that contributed to why I cut my WW slack for so long with her A’s. I felt a sense of guilt that I was no better than her with some of my past choices.
However, I believe there is a distinct difference when dealing with a WW. I recognized the damage that could be inflicted to my life, marriage, and family if I were to act upon temptations. I couldn’t bring myself to jeopardize that or hurt my W in that way. The WW sees the pain and suffering the LBH is going through, yet they choose to continue and submit to their selfish desires. Having been cheated on and knowing how that feels, I could never put my partner through that especially when the A has been exposed and the LBH knows what is going on.
I think you did the right thing. A MR rebuilt on honesty shows the values you intend to follow going forward.
