| Many women type these words about their loved one's addiction. |
Since I’ve started writing about porn and my walk to freedom from it, I can’t tell you how many e-mails I’ve gotten from women with those lines written.
I can’t tell you how many times in those same e-mails there are expressions of hurt, confusion, loneliness, and mistrust.
Lastly, I can’t tell you how many times there have been requests for sources or advice from a woman’s point of view on how one deals with her boyfriend’s or fiancé’s or husband’s porn addiction.
And the truth is, there really isn’t much out there from a woman’s perspective. So I talked to my wife, Mimi, and asked if she could provide some insight on how she walked with me during my journey to freedom, and how she dealt with those same feelings I’ve heard echoed in my inbox.
For the women who want to hear her story, I will be putting it up tomorrow, on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Because perhaps the wisest thing I’ve done in my life is look to the wisdom of women, and ultimately to Our Mother. The Mary of my life will share tomorrow, and I hope her words can touch you as it has touched me, too.
Amén.
I lived with my pornography addicted husband for 24 years. He knew it bothered me, but he never did get it on just how much hurt me more than anything else in this world. When ever I did try to talk to him about this, he would accuse me of being jealous. He was and still is today an alcoholic. WE had no marriage in any way, nothing. He was always with his friends. I prayed on what to do, finally, I do believe I was led to a book called "An Affair of the Mind" This book was a true blessing, I did leave him almost four years ago, and I'm so glad I did. I now have peace.
