    • Close Infidelity

      I found out, a year ago, my husband was having an online affair with a Russian woman when he received his passport in the mail one day. He had a ticket to visit her. I kicked him out and we reconciled all with in a week. He never went, until last weekend. He had never broken it off and has been lying to me about that and money. He has a job across the state so it's much easier for him to detatch from me and my children. I know there's no hope, I can't trust him. It hurts me very deeply.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Working / Worked
      He isn't a good talker and had me convinced he was devoted to our marriage and I believed him. He recently admitted to lying in counseling that he broke off the relationship when he never did.
      Forgiveness Working / Worked
      He's a lyer and so completed stomped all over my forgiveness
      Leave Working / Worked
      He found a job far away. I didn't think he could find a local one but maybe he could. It is making it easier for him to escape our life together.
    • Close Sex / Pornography Addiction

      My stbx has admitted to being porn addicted for the passed 11 years or so.

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      I am beginning the divorce process.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      He lied in counseling and only told me a year later when he admitted to still being in contact with OW.
      Family Therapy Working / Worked
      I go and want to bring my kids soon.
      Forgiveness Not Working
      We are still divorcing. He has problems with internet porn, motivation, honesty and has done outrageous things.
      Leave Working / Worked
      It's the only way to gain perspective.
      Love Somewhat Helpful
      We love each other. That is confusing. It just isn't enough to fix everything.
      Music Working / Worked
      Pets Working / Worked
      I love my dog, 5 cats and rat!! Very much.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Reading Working / Worked
      Always helps for insight or distraction.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Everyone and anyone who will listen. People will surprise you with things you never knew about them and it will bring you closer to others.
      Support Groups Working / Worked
      DS!! Don't know where I'd be without it!!
      Talking Working / Worked
      On the occasion that we do talk it reassures me that it is his problem. I do however fear being hurt more or manipulated.
      Time Working / Worked
      I believe it works if you have distance and honesty with yourself.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
