So much is going on...

Last night my boyfriend of 3 1/2 years (best friend of 10 years) confessed to sleeping with 3 women... On top of that today he finally told me about the sexual abuse he went through as a child... His two older sisters molested him and his younger brother... This is really hard to swallow... I'm super close with his family... Specifically one of the sisters... I'm trying to get my thoughts together... After the abortion that's when my boyfriend started spiraling out of control... I think it's partial that... and we've wanted kids and he's scared shitless because of his past... He's terrified he wont be able to give me the things I deserve... On top of all these things possibly triggering his sex addiction... He has a closed brain injury... Which I know effects his impulse control... This is all so much to take in and to consider... He came forward with all this information because of the SAA meetings he's been going to... He's taking recovery so seriously... Which is wonderful... but it makes it harder and more confusing for me and what I want... I'm planning on taking a break for awhile to clear my head... and if I decide to come back we'll take things slow... He's going to have to earn back the right of being with me... We'll see how this goes... I'm hoping this all will stop being grey and turn into either black or white... You know what I mean? He wants to go to therapy for himself seperately and then for us a couple to get therapy... Which I think either way is a good idea... I just need to figure out how to heal... If I stay or if I go... He's been super respectful, forth coming, supportive, understanding through all of this... I'm so relieved everything is out in the open now... I have a lot of things to think about... Any opinions? Suggestions?? Thanks for listening

Today was the first day we talked about the abortion... It feels so good... Sad... I wish it hadn't taken 3 years for him to open up... but he is doing it....

love,
