Hi David

Thank you for getting in touch with those feelings. A lot of people on this site have been hurt by others. It’s really important for people to understand how you feel about your actions.

I understand it’s very difficult when you start communicating with people to delve into those feelings. But specifically because you have made mistakes that you regret, sharing your emotions helps people empathise with you.

Do you have difficulty trusting or being vulnerable around others?

Do you think therapy helped you end the relationship?

I would add that while you were humiliated and shamed by those experiences, so was your ex. It was not 1 way.
