Has any wife or ex-wife had her survivor leave or wanna leave for another man?
 
boy, that is a loaded question.
I wish someone would have responded.
May be the answer is no.
I am glad you asked it thou.
take care,
James.
 
Throughout my relationship with my husband he has compulsively sexually messaged other women, but not followed through. He only recentally disclosed his abuse but a big factor is his sexual identity issues. Physically he responded to the rape and he has a fear that he may be gay so this pursuit of women was to prove a point to him self or the abusers in his head. That I know of there has never been another man

I'm not sure if many people who have split up from their partners will still be around here to answer your question?? I don't read this section of the forum as much as the others but I don't recall anyone saying that this happened to them. Maybe you could try doing a search? Pretty sure the posts here go back years.

This kind of happened to my ex-girlfriend, but it's not like she woke up one morning and found out I'd left her for a guy, but it is the reason why we broke up. She broke up with me. It's not like I scammed her either by getting with her when I wasn't really into her. We had long term plans and I thought I was happy, but things turned out different than I thought.

We still talk at least a couple of times a week, and she's with someone else now who is way more suitable for her than I ever was.
 
In may case:

Leave for another man.. NO

Leave for your own sense of wellbeing.YES

Sometimes you have to if they are too resistant to getting help even if you don't want to initially. I feel that for myself, my leaving for "ME" is a much healthier choice than leaving for another man.

I wish you well
 
He has met strangers (male and female) from online for anonymous sex. We are currently broken-up, but I blame that more on his depression and need to show power/control in sex than on his desire to "be" with someone.

I cannot deny that knowing he is messing with others hurts me. Knowing he was with a man really challenged my own belief in my desirability. Am I just a turn off to him? Every time he's touched me was he disgusted? The times that the lights were off, was he imagining himself to be with another man? It's a ginormous mind-screw.
