    Thank you for sharing your story. I pray God can heal my marriage, too. I feel so alone all of the time and most of the time I just feel like I can’t take another step or get knocked down even one more time. I pray for my husband to choose me over his pornography addiction, and that this pain of something that the world thinks is perfectly okay will not be the end of me and our marriage. I’m so scared all of the time. I don’t know if I am going to make it. I really don’t think he even cares. I just feel so cast aside and insignificant to him, and like such a burden on the whole world. Please pray for God to help my marriage. Please pray that his desire to choose every other woman in the world over me will somehow stop and be healed, and that he will eventually choose me instead of everyone else. I know some people might not think pornography addiction is a serious thing, but it has torn down every single part of my whole life, piece by piece, and I have no control over when or if he will stop it. He always says the same thing. That he’s sorry and that it is different now, and that he promises he loves only me. All I can imagine is that his secret life is so much worse than all I have found out so far. So many lies, and so many awful addictions that make me feel completely and utterly worthless as a wife. I need God to heal me and my husband, and for me to somehow not always be at the mercy of my husband’s mood swings from day to day. I wake up every day not knowing if today will be a good day or a bad day, and usually he thinks it is my fault. Maybe it is. I don’t know how to feel like I belong in my own marriage, and I have held on for fourteen very, very, VERY hard years, but I still hold out hope that maybe this time is different. Maybe some time he will stop, if he ever finally wakes up and realizes he had a real, live wife here the entire time who never stopped loving him and always wanted the best for him. I just really miss so many things that don’t exist anymore in our relationship; mainly the feeling that I can ever feel loved again by him. I hate that my self worth is built up on someone who doesn’t want to do anything but lie to me and tell me what he thinks I want to hear just to get me off of his back, but that would be the truth. I truly don’t know what to do. We wanted to have a baby and I am getting way too old, and I’m scared for the kind of father/example he might be to our child. It feels like I am always going to be so trapped here, just like I have been for the past fourteen years. Thank you in advance for praying.

    Please pray for me and my wife Ann not to go through with divorcing me. I do not want a divorce. May God heal her heart and mind. Beauty from ashes

    why everybody blame their behaviour on their background, their parents, ... This is so sad. Doing so doesn't make recovery any easier. I know people who were hit hard by life but who aren't addicted to anything. Good People we are sinners by nature and we need God's grace. Understanding that is called repentance. Pride is written all over the face of this gentlemen. He doesn't matter how much he weeps.

    Shannon mentions THANOS (I think it's spelt) at about the 13:20 mark and says go look it up. Thanos is a MARVEL character. What is he talking about? I can find nothing about it through Google.
