Husbands, how would you feel if your wife said “if you can’t forget the past, let me go”?

guys/married/husband how do you feel when your wife said to you if you can't forget the past and cannot move forward then let me go, how do you feel and what would you say?

What exactly am I supposed to "forget" about her past? She cheated on a test in third grade, or she recently cheated with my brother? The answer to this question depends on what she wants me to "forget."

Also, "forget" is very likely the wrong word for this question. I think what you are asking is for him to accept your past, not judge you for it, and not make it a topic for discussion in the future. But he doesn't have a switch that he can toggle that will make a memory vanish, and he won't forget something that is significant.

It's a strange situation in married life, but it's possible between married people; I witnessed a similar marriage very close to me. If there's no love, it's pointless to wait any longer.

I'd feel like she just wants to go anyways... probably why there is this past I can't let go of to begin with. So one of my eyebrows would raise with this in mind, and I'd look at the bitch and say...

"Well then bitch, you need to go."

"Hey yo... give me that skinny Asian friend of yours number first."

If I couldn’t let her past go we wouldn’t even be married. If there was someway that we still ended up married w me knowing her past then she said that to me, I’d be out in a heart beat. But I don’t even think we’d make it to marriage to begin w unless she lied to me about her past.

Bye. No more, no less. If she's done something to even say that to me, then it would have been ended right then.

Zero context genius. Also that line is how avoidants cope with reality to avoid accountability

I'd let her go. Go back to the streets. Without my money, care, or protection
