I posted this in the "WIVES" area but didn't realize there is an intorduction area... sorry for the double post.
It has been a great comfort to have this message board available. I needed a place to be able to ask questions freely and confidentially. Since the other websites we are both a part of and I don't feel free to ask some questions or discuss some topics.
________________
Let me share a little more about ourselves. My H has dealt with SA/PA since he was a teenager. He was exposed at an early age and hooked. Throughout his life he went from trying to put this behind him to esclating behavior during the most stressful times of his life.
Our realtionship is different from many in that he was not "discovered" in his sexual addiction after many years of marriage, as many here. He had been in a recovery group, by his own choice, about 14 months before we met. He, himself chose to put SA/PA out of his life. Once we met and he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, he confided in me his sexual addiction.
He never disclosed his sexual addiction when he was married before, he wanted to disclose this to me so I knew what I was taking on from the beginning. He wanted to get involved with a program that allowed the both of us to work through everything before marriage. This is also due to the fact that I lost my previous husband to cancer and was left with five children, so we both had alot of issues to work through.
Our relationship is very special, we have so much in common that we share that we were never able to in previous relationships. We are both business owners with an entraprenual mindset. I am a primary health care provider and he has a business involving real estate. Together we have a travel business. With out giving out too much personal info, we each have a son with various degrees of the same disability. This has really been a blessing in that not everyone understands where we have been.
I see his heart and his soul, I see him for who he is not by his struggle with sexual addiction. As the Evil One is fighting for him by the use of pornography I am fighting for him by the use of God's love.
