My husband was hooked on p*** for six years of our marriage. The devastation became clearer and clearer as the years went on while I mutated into someone I did not recognize.
My husband was not the man that I thought I married. Our marriage was crumbling.
I finally had enough and made him choose: our family or p***.
Maybe this story sounds way too familiar. Maybe this is the exact same situation you find yourself in today.
You feel hopeless and with few options.
You see, I didn't have a large community around me that truly understood what I was going through, let alone one that would give valid advice to move forward. But thankfully the one person that did 'get it' was our pastor.
Yup, you read that right, our pastor!
He was able to talk to my husband and me in a way that made sense, and he was able to get us connected with helpful resources that serves as a lifeline for our marriage.
This is why we need leaders who can freely talk about this stuff and not shirk away from it. It's the difference between feeling lost and alone vs. connected and hopeful.
I know this is not the story for so many of you struggling with the realities of sexual betrayal. I know that some of you have received horrible advice from people around you or from people in the church.
This journey can be incredibly lonely and feel shameful.
