[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an OW.  If I were confronted, I would say I'm sorry and I don't expect her forgiveness.  She can tell my husband, but he already knows and knew from the beginning.  I was intensely lonely in my own marriage and made a terrible mistake in a moment of weakness.  He told me everything I wanted to hear and made me feel beautiful and alive again, and told me that his wife was not interested in him or his needs at all and that he was lonely too.[/quote]

Simmer down she admitted she was a victim of childhood abuse.[/quote]

DP- No one ADMITS they are victims of childhood sexual abuse.  Admission means culpability, a child doesn’t have that..  That person STATED she was a victim.  Yes, there is a reason why this is triggering for me.[/quote]

Most people carry shame from the abuse so it’s a huge step to admit it. State means to just say. Admit is to allow others to understand the truth. Both are difficult for victims. I think either to state or admit is a great step to healing.

Sadly she just wrote “yes” meaning it’s new to share the truth. [/quote]

No admit has a different connotation and using those words interchangeably implies the victim should feel guilt. They shouldn’t.Why not admit that? [/quote]
