I think it should be included in the Healing Library.
It explains so much about how a BS feels and what BS needs from WS.

Bump!
Also, BS here. Great article. I gave this to my WBF over a year ago. He finally read it last night. He commented that it was interesting and wanted to read it again. At this point it really doesn't matter if we make it or not,I just feel a huge relief that he will hopefully understand what this has done to me.

Thanks!

My husband asked me to read this in the early days after D Day. It was very hard to read because some of it I didn't believe and some of it I thought I wouldn't be able to do. I was in the 'fog' trying to recover from the addiction of the AP.
Now, 6 months on from D Day 1, and 2 days on from the last of the lies coming out (which have put us back to what feels like another D Day) reading it again for the 3rd time, it all makes sense. I can understand it and I want to try my best to do it all too. This is such a good post. I'm going to print it off and keep reading it.
Thank you.

Thank you, SisterMilkshake! This article opened my WH's eyes. He was angry when he first read it, but by the next day he seemed to have finally understood... 3 days of genuine remorse feels like heaven after 8 months of hell. Wish us luck.
