Thanks to LDS Woman for the link to the church's new website. http://combatingpornography.org/cp/eng/
I was reading through some articles and came across this, which is something I have been thinking a lot lately:
"dishonesty in a relationship can be as damaging as pornography"
(from this article)
Sometimes I feel like if I was just told the truth things would be a lot easier, or at least tolerable.
I feel like I had a really hard day yesterday. The end however was perhaps promising. I was casually mentioning to my husband that I was going to work through the 12 steps myself when he said that he thought he might try going back to the meetings - if I wanted him to. This was ridiculous because he already knows (or at least I have said MANY times) that I would prefer it, even if it "takes him away from our family" one evening a week. So last night I told him that he knew I wanted him to go, but that I'm not the boss of him. He says he will start this week. I won't hold my breath, but I will hope for the best.

ReplyDeleteIsn't the church's website great? I remember reading almost all of those articles a little over a year ago when I was looking for articles with information on how to deal. However, I had to search for hours to find all of them. Now they are all in one place with a lot of great info.
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband feels some outreach if he decided to go back to the 12 step groups. Tell him to give it a few weeks. My husband's recovery has been so influenced by going. And it helped me to go as well. Best wishes to you both.
