#225: Can My Spouse Still Love Me While They're Acting Out?

Description:

Caller Rochelle's Question: "My D-Day has happened over the last five months. First, he confessed to losing all our money in a crypto scam. Then he had a woman record a video of him while he masturbated and got all of his phone contacts, and blackmailed him by sending screenshots to our friends and family. It was humiliating. He confessed to Thai massages with happy endings. But nothing was as bad as when I accidentally found out he was still talking to a woman who was a Thai massage/ sex worker. He ended up telling me he once was in love with her. He had brought her flowers and bought her a $1,000 Tiffani necklace!!! He, at a time, was going to choose a woman who jacks off men for a living over me! He had sex with her once, and he said it was not emotional, and he started to realize there wasn’t a future. My question is: How do I ever get over the fact that he thought he was in love with someone like that? All of his acting out was with Asian women. How do I ever get over that he wishes he was with a woman who looks completely different than me? So much so that he wanted a sex worker? We have been married for 34. He says this all started only two years ago. I love him and want this to work. But the pain of him choosing someone like that is unbearable. I haven’t heard a story like mine."
