You know Lil, I think Tex is a real interesting case. I agree that his serial cheating is a form of spousal abuse. But is her constant refusal of any sexual contact also abuse? I'm sure Tex sees it that way.
Tex went back to the same sitch, which is closely analogous to the pattern of a battered spouse returning to the abuser. His W forgave him of his infidelity at the time of the D and took him back, but she didn’t change what he claims to have been the cause of the infidelity and the D. Very interesting… And now that he has confessed to multiple subsequent PAs, the question remains as to whether or not she will take him back again. If she does, will her behavior also mirror the battered spouse returning? She’s not being battered, but she’s been mistreated on an ongoing basis. They’re a really interesting study.
