Dear Amy: I recently married a great guy. He loves me and loves my children (from a previous marriage) like his own.
I recently married a great guy. He loves me and loves my children like his own.We were drinking, and he told me a couple of vulgar sexual things about one particular ex. I’m having a hard time moving past it.Also, due to my own digging through his social media , I saw pictures and posts he would write to this same girl, and other girls.
He tells me he loves me way more than he ever loved any girl, and that he only did those things because he had nothing positive in his life.He has stopped drinking and smoking, and is a responsible, hardworking man who says he has everything he has ever wanted in life.I’ve read self-help books and talked to close friends, but I still have this nagging feeling.
Your husband isn’t sexually vulgar with you because he is sober. He doesn’t objectify you the way he objectified random women on Instagram because he knows you. He loves you. He is happy, you’re the mother of the children he loves, and he is no longer that lonely dude drunk-scrolling into the void. You should communicate your wants, needs, and desires to him, and he should be transparent and patient with you.I’m a fan. I’m responding to “Faithful Reader,” who objects to using “they” as a singular pronoun.
