My ex-husband lived a double life for our whole marriage of over 40 years. He was into casual sex with other men and I think did it several times a week, probably more when we were young. His anger and secretiveness got worse over time and although I had suspicions I had no concept of covert narcissism back then and probably wouldn’t have believed it anyway.
It wasn’t until I discovered that his Viagra was missing that I started to put the pieces together. We rarely had sex so I knew then he was doing it with someone else. To this day he denies being gay, denies having been verbally and emotionally abusive, and tells everyone it was all my fault. How I wish I hadn’t put up with his behavior for all those years but I truly loved him. Or rather, I loved the man he was when we first met. Now I realize that he love-bombed me and mirrored me so I thought he was a good man. But he is a monster, a wolf in sheep’s clothing without conscience.
