Ouch, betrayal is a loaded word. How do you define betrayal? What was it? Was it intentionally against you. Or a partner, acting out their own trauma and fears.
Are you able to talk to them, in a not judgmental non accusing way. So they feel safe enough to open up?
Before doing anything drastic, see if you can have a heart to heart talk.
As adults, we still act out our childhood trauma.
I’m 64, and married, to the most beautiful woman. She thinks she is fat and unattractive. She says that her love for me, is deeper. Than the need for physical contact.
The thing that I desire the most, is to be touched in a loving accepting intimate way. More than being able to share passion and desire.
If I were able to experience this, with another person. Does not take away, my desire to be with my loved one.
We mess up, for fear of opening ourselves, and accepting each other’s vulnerability.
