The struggle is real

So as ive previously mentioned in the past i have quite serious PTSD from my time in the military at war so id like to firstly point out that although i always seem to pick out my partners misjudgements and mistakes i fully understand that my own mental health plays a huge part in my confusion and the whole relationship.

Any way if youve seen my previous cries for help this will make alot more sense.

After many struggles after what was imo infidelity on her side weve been great lately. However shes developed trust issues towards my loyalty and worries about me doing the dirty.
Shes mentioned before about worrying about me getting revenge. Admitedly i have told her that i dont know why i forgive as ive always believed its unforgivable but simply cannot phsycally give up on her or us. Yes i believe a taste of her own medicine would be deserved however as much as i think that it turns my stomach to think of it and couldnt do that. Ive said lack of consiquence is perfect for a cheat to take advantage of. Also i believe cheats dont change they just get better at hiding things.
I was blunt and upfront wen shes asked these things but thought the truth was wat she needed to hear.
Sounds crazy but my heart belonhs to her. This relationship has actually made me stronger than ever..tought me to do things for me first and follow my own heart.
Dont know what i was asking with this post but boys gotta vent. Opinions greatly valued as always

Do you think you might benefit from some relationship counselling?

Sounds like you handled it well to me! It is difficult for a relationship to continue healthily after something like that though.

There doesn’t seem to be anything you can do, just tell her not to think that, although I wouldn’t be going above and beyond to get the point across, as I wouldn’t want her to think what she done was ok!

The only other thing you've posted on here under this name is a reply that details a litany of lies she told you when you moved in with her.

Cheaters always project - they always accuse their partners of cheating, or wanting to cheat.

There's nothing you can do. This woman is a liar and a cheat. She isn't going to change - she doesn't want to. Please end this relationship. Especially if you are the person I think you are who posted before about her behaviour and cheating. Everyone advised you to get out then, because this goes far further than her cheating.

You are confused because she is deliberately confusing you. Confusion is a sign of insincere communication, that is intended to obfuscate rather than to achieve solution. If you can't have sincere, solutions-oriented communication, then you are dealing with a toxic person. Prepare for things to only get worse. You will know if you have sincere, solutions-oriented communication, because you won't be confused, and misunderstandings will be quickly cleared up.
