Ever been in a relationship with someone that is not actually attracted to you? Maybe you are watching your partner scrolling Instagram slamming the heart button on women/men that are not even close to what you look like. Maybe you are watching your partner interact suspiciously often and suspiciously friendly with someone that is the same gender as your partner. More so than they ever did with you. Maybe you are completely aware of your partner's activities. You know that they are not attracted to your gender...but no one else does. At least, no one has said it out loud. They told you that they love you and that their cheating was "just a phase". They keep doing it though...and get caught again and apologize...the cycle is endless. Naturally you believe them...or try to convince yourself that you believe them. Because a secret DL relationship is less embarrassing than leaving your very "Christian" and very public relationship...right? Whether you are currently in this situation or have made your way out of this situation, my hope is that I can bring some clarity for you with my Beard Bites of DL experiences. Obviously, I want to hear yours as well. Email me, hit my social media, and you are welcome to request it to be on a podcast episode as well. We are all healing here. This one is for the partners that got used as a cover and then left in the dust. I hear you; I see you, and this space is for us.
