Partner with aphantasia and infidelity
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping to gain more insight on aphantasia and infidelity.
Few months ago I discovered my partner cheated on me and found his texts and dating apps he has used.
We choose to reconcile and there is a lot of talks about getting to the root of his infidelity, our childhood traumas and our relationship issues.
But, one of the biggest hurdles of getting clarity is his aphantasia. He said he doesn't know or simply cannot remember specific things and I mostly can empathise with that.
What's frustrating for me is not feeling certain about whether he's genuinely tried enough or just gave up digging deeper in his memories to get me the clarity I need about his harmful decisions.
Sorry if I'm being too vague about this, everything still hurts but I'm trying my best to move forward with empathy for myself and his condition.
- thank you to everyone that has clarified that this is not related to aphantasia. At least I know now what it's not and I can keep going from here.
