Anyone here who has experience with the regret and confusion as a consequence of disclosure?
After hiding my entire life, I disclosed my past (human trafficking & yrs of abuse) to my partner of 10 years. He now better understands my panics, behaviours (during sex) and this has left him uncertain, apprehensive, guilty and feeling as if being a rapist.
He since says a sexual relationship with me doesn't feel right instead he wants to care, nurture, talk and listen but as a "sibbling" rather than a partner.
I want an authentic relationship with him as my partner not as a sibbling. I regret my disclosure, simultaneously I am confused tirn between feeling rejected whilst being better cared for and listen to.
