My wife relapsed and cheated on me

My wife (31) and I (33) have been together for nearly 7 years, married since 2023. She struggled with drugs in her past but was sober and doing well for the most part since we've been together. Around the beginning of this year she started hanging out with these younger girls she works with (19 and 22 at the time).

She eventually started getting more and more distant from me, not coming home at night, etc. I found out she relapsed and started using cocaine and Adderall, and drinking heavily. I didn't handle things well at first and was angry at her for being so selfish.

Things have been up and down since, one day she'll say she's going to stop and the light in her eyes is back, like the old her. Then the next day she won't come home from work, tells me she hates me and then goes on a bender before eventually coming home and apologizing.

Monday, (it's Wednesday as of posting this) she admitted that she's been cheating on me with a 23 year old she met through the girls from work, and that it's happened several times since April. She says that she was blackout drunk when it happened, but in the same breath she said it wasn't just once.

She said she might be pregnant but the test was inconclusive, but its "almost definitely yours if I am).

I texted her and told her she needed to decide if she was going to stop all of this and come home or admit to herself that she was going to keep going until she hit rock bottom, she replied and said "I don’t know how stupid you think I am. I’m not I’m just selfish." I feel so incredibly broken right now, and have no idea what to do.

She calls me abusive and controlling because I want her to get sober and stop living like this. She's mad at her mom and her sister because they want her to get clean and try to fix things with me. Everyone that actually cares about her is telling her to just come home and get away from these young girls she's using with, but she won't listen to anyone.

My wife relapsed and has been cheating on me

I'm sorry for posting 3 days in a row, but I'm going through a very tough time and it feels like it just keeps getting worse.

I posted yesterday about going to Mass for the first time and how my wife has been struggling with drug addiction. Today she admitted to me that she's been cheating on me since April, around the time she relapsed. She says she feels broken about what she did to me, and that she still loves me. I've suspected something might be happening but I didn't want to believe it, and she's been lying and gaslighting me about it the whole time. I feel so empty right now, like all the air was knocked out of my lungs and all the blood was knocked out of my heart. We've been together for almost 7 years, married since 2023, I'm 33 and she's 31. She was my first everything, love, sexually, everything. I still love her and I'm still praying for her, but I'm hurting so much right now and I just feel like I have no idea what to do. Please pray for us

Went to Mass for the first time

I posted last night that I was planning on going to Mass for the first time today and I did this morning. It was amazing to experience and the reading was about the Cannanite woman, Matthew 15. It hit really hard. Like I said in last night's post, my wife is struggling with addiction and it's been an incredibly difficult year. It's drawn me closer to God but watching her hurt like this is the most painful thing I've ever been through. But Mass was great, and they had a prayer service this afternoon that I went to as well. I only wish my wife could have been there with me. Please pray that my wife will be delivered from this evil and pain. Thank you

Please pray for my wife

Please pray for my wife and I. She's been struggling with addiction and has been influenced by her "friends" that also use. On days she's sober and with me it's amazing, it's the real her. But on days she uses it's a nightmare. The past 2 nights she hasn't even come home, she's at a "friend's" house getting high again. She is truly my other half and I love her so deeply. I'm praying with all my heart for God to heal her and free her from this pain and these bad influences. Any prayers are greatly appreciated. Thank you

I saw the cosmic owl

Last night my wife and I did a little over 2g each. We went to take a shower and by the time we got out it was coming on strong. Stuff was really distorted for me, like fun house mirrors, and when I closed my eyes the shapes and colors were too much to even describe.

When we were peaking she was laughing a lot and then she started crying, telling me she was sorry and not to be scared of her (we've been working through some issues recently).

I just felt this incredible overwhelming love for her and held her tight, that's when the cosmic owl flew in and told me to never stop loving her, everything was a mess of colors and shapes but the owl was perfectly clear and extremely vivid.

She calmed down on the comedown and we went to bed and held each other all night. Incredible experience

Wife wants a dab rig for her birthday, Recommendation?

Hello! My wife's birthday is next month and after doing dabs with her friend a few times she wants a rig of her own. I don't really smoke that much so I thought I'd come here and ask for some recommendations on what to look for and any good websites to order form. I can't spend a ton (I got her concert tickets for her B-Day as well) but I want to get her something decent. Any info would be appreciated!
