I’ve been married for 10 years. My husband used to treat me badly and cheat but I was young so forgave him and went onto have children and a life with him. About 5-6 years in I started having feelings of resentment and would have urges to reach out to other men behind his back. All I eventually could think about when having intimate moments with him was the emotional pain he had caused me. This led to a growing distance between us, and I found myself seeking emotional support and connection elsewhere. Eventually, the weight of the resentment and unmet needs became too much to bear.
