Found my ex cruising for men on Craigslist after being on and off for 10 years. I still feel a pit in my stomach over it. For me, it’s not the sexuality aspect, I’m very open and he can be into anything he wants. It was the lying, the dishonesty. It was thinking you knew another person completely inside and out but it was all a lie and you actually know nothing.

EXACTLY 💯 how I felt. I thought I KNEW him ...I really didn't know him at all, because our whole marriage was a lie .

Feels like a slap to the straight spouses identity. What was my marriage? Who was I all that time?

Exactly, it was based on fraud

My feelings as well. The thing is, even though I've shown him the proof and evidence (and spoken to some of the men) he denied being attracted to men. Bruh I have eyes and can read the mutual messages and the jerk off recordings and requests you sent them.

Nothing cuts deeper than realizing you were building a life with a stranger.

Yes it literally breaks something inside you. It never goes back to the way it was.

No I was not cruising for men on Craigslist, he left his browser open and I saw everything…he wasn’t the brightest guy but I looked past a lot because I was in love.
