Which is still misplaced blame IMHO because the person doing the cheating is the one actually wrecking their own home. But I digress.) And if your therapist insists on labeling you that way nonetheless, that suggests she's already too biased and short-sighted to be of much help to you anyway.
I'm sorry you had to deal with that lying jerk.

Thank you so much for this supportive response, Persephone518. Not in a million years would I even consider involving myself with a married man in this way. That app is PLAGUED with married men, many of whom were upfront about their marital status (eventually, after interrogation by me). All of whom I chose not to meet.
I really want to talk to my therapist about all this but it feels awkward talking about anything sexual, for me. And honestly, I'm kinda scared. She's really understanding, almost always, so I'll see what I can go about opening up to her. Praying it'll go alright.
