Triggered from religious views
Hi y’all
I have recently been coming to terms with my issues with hyper sexuality. But I’ve been noticing one of my major triggers is religion. I am an ex-Catholic who was raised with a lot of shame surrounding sex, on top of being SA’d by a same sex family member and not believed about it…
Recently, Ive been getting super triggered by my partner’s Christian parents not allowing us to sleep in the same room when we go over , or not even inviting me to overnight trips. I was explained to my partner that his parents are uncomfortable about us not being married and potentially being in a tempting situation to engage in sin.
My feelings around this is that I feel like I’m being treated less than… my partners sister is married but they have not been together nearly as long as we have. Yet they don’t treat her nor her husband in the same way. The only reason for not getting married is because of our financial situation, and not feeling like it is the right time yet considering our personal healing journeys.
I feel like they think I’m a whore…even if they’re not outwardly saying that. And I have been looked down upon by others from my promiscuous behaviors before. So it just makes me feel like relapsing…but I don’t want to hurt my partner. It’s really frustrating and I don’t know what to do.
