I’ve been happily married for 20 years. We dated for 5 years before we married. During those five years she broke up with me twice. The first breakup was maybe 3 weeks and the second was about 6 weeks.
It’s a long story and I don’t feel like it adds to the issue but I found out she had sexual relations with at least 5 different guys during this time. Intercoarse with four of them and oral only with one.
She wasn’t experience too much before me. Maybe 3 times between two guys and they probably lasted a total of 15 minutes and were vanilla ( missionary in the dark).
I believe two of these guys she messed with before the break up.
I feel like I’m a broken man. I can’t believe this and I feel over half my life has been a lie.
My wife blows it off like it was not a big deal, was so long ago, and she chose me so why am I upset.
I love her and don’t want to leave but I’m not sure how I can ever trust her. I feel insecure now as well.
I have no one to talk to other than my therapist.

BA150, sorry you find yourself here.
How did you find out about it? Were you asking questions?

Long story but we had a really big fight and the issue of trust came up and things spiraled out of control. From that argument I had hunched and started digging.

Curious: when you got back together each time, did you ask her if she was sexually active with anyone else?
