My husband gets mad at me when I’m triggered. Then I feel a need to explain why and what he’s done in the past that makes this trigger relevant. When I do that he says I’m bringing up the past. It’s maddening. I’m currently separated because I can’t handle it anymore. We are still in the beginning stages because he goes back every few months and repeats the betrayal (porn, contacting exes) bc he says my triggers are too much for him. I can’t get ahead. He has abandoned me during triggers and left to go stay at his mom’s house for two months to act out while telling me that me and my triggers are the problem. He repeats this cycle every few months. We’ve listened to so many things on betrayal trauma but he still gets angry as soon as something triggers me

“If her trigger was justified” THEY ARE ALL JUSTIFIED THE CHEATERS DID THIS TO US
