So, you made a mistake, yes. It was painful to him, of course. Doesn't mean that suddenly the pendulum gets to swing in the complete opposite direction and you become imprisoned, so to speak for your mistakes. All in the name of transparency. Checking in every moment, accounting for every moment, handing over email passwords and phone call records, etc etc. It's not the answer, imo!! If anything, it can make the relationships 100% worse. As I am sure, you are aware, as you are becoming used to being single. How you were treated, post-affair, isn't fair, and the literature out there, appears hogwash, on the surface. Not conducive to a healthy re-beginning.

It will take time, to regain your ability to look a person in the eye! Give it time. Have you been in counseling, post-relationship? ((not that you need to , but hey, every little bit of healing work, can help you along to a better future, imo))
Thanks for your reply, exactly what happened, I gave him all my passwords and did everything to avoid any stress for him, anything that could bring the memories back or a chance for him to think I am doing something wrong, maybe that's why I am like that now. I am visiting a counselor but I am not sure she can help me with this, she tried to make me feel angry at him and start appreciate myself more.
