Is there hope?
Hi, everyone. I’m struggling a lot and I guess… looking for understanding. And hope, if you have some to spare.
A few weeks ago, I found out about my husband’s sex addiction as he was in chatrooms and reaching out to people online. Based on the content, I can tell he never actually met up with anyone, but it’s such a slippery slope and I feel so betrayed. It was all this ridiculous, cheap fantasy. I do have compassion for him… he had a terrible childhood and has had many traumatic events and injuries throughout his active duty military career… but I am SO broken and angry.
I am thinking about it constantly, and been having panic attacks almost every day. I just… want to feel better. I don’t want a divorce, and he is willing to do anything I ask… but it’s not like he initiated getting help until I found out. I don’t really trust anything anymore and the steps he took to cover it all up really bother me. I’ve scrolled through this sub, looking for hope, and I just feel more lost.
Does anyone have experience with their spouse/partner actually getting into and staying in recovery?
I’m sorry for being all over the place. Thanks for making it this far.💜
