Pretty much everything that you say here applies to my wife who cheated on me.

[@ChrissieLatham-w2c]

Spot on, I never thought my husband has low self-esteem until he cheated on me.

[@ElimEx1]

As someone who had an emotional affair, this is all extremely on point. I wasn't even able to recognize I had low self-esteem and proper coping mechanisms because I didn't have the vocabulary or knowledge to do so. Sadly, a lot of men I know suffer from low self esteem but that's not something society can recognize or accept. Sadly, even if my wife had approached me with it, I would never have recognized it or accepted it. I had to hit rock bottom and my wife suffered because of it.

At least you are accepting it and taking responsibility for your unfaithfulness. Most husbands who cheat blame and scapegoat the wife. Mine tried to find every reason under the sun to put the crown of his sins on my head. It just didn't work. Everybody saw through the BS eventually.

@@AffectionateSeaOtter I am sure that I did that at first. I don't remember but every wandering spouse goes through that phase. Took me years to figure out all the reasons why I did what I did and how to correct it to make sure it never happens again. Depending how long it's been, he might still come around. Affair Recovery have good videos to watch for both betrayed and wandering spouses.

@@ElimEx1 I would love to hear about your journey and learning experience and how you came to understand what you understand today and would happily become your subscriber if you ever started a YT channel of your own. And I really think *you should* because there aren't a whole lot of men offering the perspective that you have to offer - in fact I don't know of any - and it's a valuable perspective not just for other men struggling with the same issues but also for all those women / wives who would like to gain an insight into the inner workings of the mind of the person who left them totally confused and very very hurt. I think you should give it some thought.

@@AffectionateSeaOtter I would not be a good person for this becaues i'm also authistic so my brain isn't the same as everyone else. But watch Jimmy on Relationship. He says it all as a man who cheated on his wife and it changed his life.
