Do you forgive sexting?

One off explicit. He says he just didn't think what he was doing. I do believe it was a one off. It was ten lines. We have a baby, a house, a dog and we're supposed to get married next year

Well that's what my therapist told me 🍒 . Also that I needed to analyse the relationship as a whole and not just this "episode".

I did 'tons of acid, coke and shrooms when he was younger. And every now and then when older' . I don't have a problem with sexting others when in a relationship, I don't cheat and am not disloyal.
Also...
Therapists never tell you what to do. Especially after your first meeting. A therapist would still be assessing your needs at this stage.

Yes, I know how therapy works. I have my own therapist who's the one who told me to make no decisions as of yet.

We're seeing a different therapist later in the week together.

It's odd my heart says leave, my head says it's salvageable.

I forgave my man when I caught him sexting in the first year of our relationship... eventually. We split for a year then got back together. We're married with kids now. It's bloody hard to forgive and I needed a long time but I did. We're strong now. I guess just trust your gut, if you want to work through it and see if the trust can be rebuilt then go for it.

Let’s call sexting for what it is. It’s infidelity. Only you can decide if you can forgive and forget.

I did and then he did it again. And then I got paranoid and starting checking his phone and got myself into a terrible anxious state, constantly waiting for him to slip up.

Things improved, I trusted him again, we got married and had a baby and then he left me for a work colleague and I only found that out by snooping in his texts again. It made me ill and I would never tolerate it again, it completely screws you up. It really is no way to live.
