Savage Love: Partner might be exploiting past cheating to exert more control Dan says tells a letter writer that he made a mistake by telling his girlfriend about a previous affair by Dan Savage on April 7th, 2021 at 11:26 AM 1 of 1 2 of 1
I’m a 29-year-old straight male. I’ve been with my 25-year-old partner for six years. I love her and think that we are perfect for each other. We have all the things that make existing with someone wonderful. But about two years into our relationship I had a two-week-long affair while I was out of the country. I fucked up. I came clean to my partner and we’ve done our best to work through this over the last four years, but it has obviously caused some trust issues between us. I’ve never cheated it again and I try every day to work through these issues I caused in our relationship.
