Confused and heartbroken

Confused and heartbroken

I’ve posted a few times. Over a year ago.
I have had a traumatic childhood. Now married with two children.
About 6 weeks ago, I found violent photos of animated women being raped on his computer.
Turns out, he has a getting with looking at these violent sexual fantasies for the last 20 years.
I didn’t cope and left town with the kids because he had mentioned that he needs to sss someone because he had thoughts about wanting to hurt me and other people sexually.

I have woken up to him having sex with me while I sleep or not respecting my boundaries in the bedroom. But when spoken about it recently, it’s my fault, I beg him and he does respect me.

While I was staying with a close friend, I found out he had a profile on a dating site. He denied it despite it being there in black and white. Further looking and he has a number of other profiles on other getting hook up pages. He is denying it all.

My friend works in mental health and has been talking to a clinician about everything. They suggested I’m in an abusive relationship, he is a narcissist who is manipulating me.

I came home on the proviso that he gets help. He went once & the psych told him that they weren’t concerned with the violent sexual stuff. He never went back. I haven’t spoken to him about it as I want him to do it on his own accord.

I tend to believe that he is a manipulative narcissist but then I think I am just overthinking it all, and overreacting.

Re: Confused and heartbroken

@Former-Member would you like me to post some links to some websites that cover indepth and useful information about the different behaviours and experiences that the umbrella term of domestic violence covers?

DV is not just hitting, there are many other things to it.

I have a couple right here and can do it almost right away if you'd like me to.
