I forgot to answer your question about our R history. So yes, we met 8yrs ago. H D XW around our 4yr mark. We got engaged at 6yrs and married at 7yrs.
Just to add from my signature. When I went OL dating, I only ever wanted to meet men who were D, S or W. H ticked my boxes. I was absolutely furious for a long time that he never got D. I even told his XW that he did that in my stupidity that if I shared my life with her she would realise I was no threat to her as M of the Skids. Everything I have told XW she has used as a weapon towards me. Will get into it down the track.
One thing this is teaching me is that I absolutely had my head in the clouds about trust and M etc. I always thought M was a soft landing where H looked after you as you did him because you made vows together. I’ve almost lost hope and I don’t want my M to end.
