Of course it’s going to cool down, but being mad upon first revelation is a normal human reaction. It detailed that the boyfriend was in the middle of something else stressful, and the response kind of pushed him over the edge. It also went on to sound like the guy has cooled off literally the next morning and is just trying to put it behind them, but OP wants to do something to try to make it up to him. I totally understand not wanting to start over in a game you have 140+ hours in, that’s normal. It sounds like he forgave her and she simply just still feels guilty and wants to do something that would make it up to him

Congrats on you and your wife being together for so long btw. No ill will on my end, just a different interpretation of the situation and what is a normal response to this specifically

While I'm wholly in support of choosing your religion or lack of it (I myself I'm atheist all family are catholic) I think people should be a bit careful in letting others know, especially if leaving your religion could bring harm to you or cause serious problems in navigating life where you live.

In some places apostasy is a thing, and in other places while nothing as drastic as that exists, people knowing you aren't religious will literally mean you will be sidelined for jobs or not even be considered at all.

Not every country is progressive and has progressive people.

It’s a double edged sword, and it all comes down to how the situation shakes out. Like others have said, if your boyfriend doesn’t end up being understanding, sweetheart leave his ass where he stands. If he ends up being mature and actually listens and reacts responsibly, hear him out and at least let him say his piece AFTER you feel comfortable and are done sharing how YOU feel.

Craving something you had no way of giving us implying that because your partner is missing a body part you may like, you will always be craving it? So if you’re bi and with a woman, you’ll saying they’ll always be craving a dick and if you’re with a man, they’ll always be craving a vagina? Is that not implying the bi person is always looking to cheat?

No. You didn't cause this to happen. If your relationship was secure, you wouldn't be afraid to introduce your partner to the hottest person in the world. The fact that you will be worried going forward, is a sign that your relationship is toxic.

I wish someone had told me that 15 years ago, when I decided to stay with the cheater. Even if they never actually cheat again, the root issues that caused that person to cheat in the first place, have caused me endless grief.

I understand now that cheating on a partner is a sign of having toxic beliefs about your self-worth, self-respect and/or shame. These can be undone I would say for 100% of people, however it can take years of effort and suffering in the interim, unless you happen to be able to fast-track with a good psychologist.
