| I don't get it either. It hurts, hurts, hurts. We have been married almost 3 years and it has been a serious emotional roller coaster. I think the hard part is finding out and then dealing with all the symptoms that come with it. My husband is so isolated and angry and of course in denial. He blames me for his addiction. We are separated right now and each day is different when we are apart. I know praying for him is important but there are days I just want to throw in the towel and then there are days I miss him so much I just cry. It seems like such a waste of energy. I truly love Jesus and thought my h did too. But I question how can you love Jesus when you idolize your addiction. It hurts to know he looks at other women and lusts after them. How do you process that? Help!

Short answer for tonight....
What helps me process my H's addiction is my understanding that once we become Christians, we are still in major spiritual warfare. The enemy observes us and has 6000+ years of experience in knowing and understanding human weakness. His agents are active and are continually watching for our vulnerabilities.
All the more reason why we need the to make sure we put on the armor of God! Ephesians 6... Daily! Moment by moment. None of us are untouchable. It's just that we all have different areas of temptation and weakness. Society has reached a very high pitch when it comes to sexual sin. It's certainly always been around, but when else has there been so much blatant temptation and so many opportunities to hide secret sin?
Hang in there... recognize that your husband isn't your enemy. Keep praying for him. And keep protecting yourself from the real enemy by using this trial to help you draw closer to your Heavenly Father.
Prayer is where recovery starts, in my humble opinion.
