Accept that it's possible and let it give you anxiety until it stops. Stop trying to mentally find the answer and just accept it as a possible. It will hurt, it may even cause a headache due to the anxiety but it'll pass, leading you to a step closer to recovery. It's in your hands. Don't give in and ask for reassurance.

Thank you. I’m glad for your response. I’m not so much seeking reassurance as just venting. I just feel like if that did happen, then I’ve like hurt my wife. That’s what makes me so anxious.

@Downupdown Even if, let's say, that possibility it true, it still belongs to the past. Forgive and release yourself of that possibility because it's enough that you're your best self now. You can't reverse your past but you can totally shape your future. Easier said than done, but totally not impossible. Also, you're not alone, been through something that gave me pretty similar feelings about a different theme.

I have the exact same problem, I simply can't remember if I was texting another man at the same time I was also texting my now boyfriend. It's incredibly frustrating because it feels like if it is indeed real, then it means my entire relationship could be a lie. I constantly have to remind myself that I am here right now and that the past is over. What matters is here and now only.

My wife’s fear is that I didn’t feel for her as deeply as she did for me, like over the years before we were able to be together. I always felt she was special. I don’t know why I would text anyone else while I texted her. I can’t place the memories within each other and confidently say yes I did that. But I feel like I did and that’s where I feel sick. It doesn’t erase the years of beauty we have, but it would still make me feel like I wronged her.

@Downupdown Yes I truly feel that too 😔 Hope you can overcome it
