In the beginning, my marriage bore the weight of that past. I found myself projecting my own past behavior onto my wife, wondering if she might be as unfaithful as those women I’d once been involved with.
Without any evidence, I became suspicious, overanalyzing her actions and doubting her loyalty.
It was a reflection of my own unresolved trust issues—a deep-seated fear that I could become the one deceived, just as I had been a part of deception before. I wanted to protect myself from pain, yet ironically, I was the one bringing the pain and strain into my relationship.
