I had this friend who had two older sisters.

When he was 13 his dad’s affair was exposed and his parents got divorced. Blindsiding all the kids and destroying what they thought was a happy family.

Later both his sisters got married and promptly cheated on their husbands destroying their marriages. One even getting pregnant by another man.

We were talking about it one day and I said “isn’t it interesting that both of your sisters cheated before they could be cheated on by the men in their life, as sort of a trauma response to the fathers affair”

He looked at me and was like “I don’t think the two things have anything to do with each other”

I think about that conversation a lot.

Sometimes people repeat pain, not out of choice, but because it’s the only language their subconscious knows in relationships. When trust is shattered in childhood, the mind learns to prioritize control over intimacy, and what stronger control than being the first to betray, rather than the one who is betrayed. Some wounds seem like fate, but in reality, they are patterns we’ve failed to see.
