Hello everyone.....I'm new to this board but very glad to have found you guys! I'm Erin, wife, mother of 4 and grandmother to 2. I'm a registered nurse, and live about an hour north of Sydney, Australia. I've been married for over 20 years to my husband, who I love dearly. Porn has always been apart of our marriage but just recently my husband finally admitted he had an addiction, after I caught him again. I am not sure to what extent but he is telling me at least weekly....regardless of how often, its an addiction. He is not falling on his knees in repentance but he has taken himself off to counselling today. We have engaged in marriage counselling over the years, but this is the first time he has gone on his own. Its a lonely road, though I do have one amazing friend who I can confide in. I may have walked out already if it wasn't for my kids....it breaks my heart to think of what that would do to them. So I find myself broken and desperate....but there is a tiny seed of hope and trust in a good and gracious God who can move mountains!

Hello, Ezza and Welcome to BG!
It hasn't taken me long to realize that this forum is one of the best things that I have done in dealing with my husband's PA and how it has affected him, our marriage, and me.
There are so many wonderful ladies and men on here that have shared so many experiences and that continue to prayerfully support each other.
You are among friends who understand what you are going through and care deeply.
We are here for you!
GOD WILL MOVE THOSE MOUNTAINS !

Ezza, welcome to BG. You are in a good place here. The ladies on this forum are amazing women of God and the men are fighters and overcomers working on getting sober and staying sober. They all have earn and gained my respect.
It is a battle we are in whether an addict or a spouse. And we work together as a team to uplift, support, encourage, and pray for each other.
I pray you feel comfortable and welcomed here.

Ezza welcome to BG.
The people here are very supportive and will help you all they can with advice and encouragement.
If you husband is admitting his addiction have him sign up here and start an accountability log.
For your sake and his don't let him do the same mistake as I did and let my male pride and ego get in the way for more than a year with the lie "I can do this myself"
Both you and him need need all the support you can get no matter where God takes you.
Keep praying and stay strong in God.

Good Day!
I was just wondering- would you prefer to be called ezza, or Erin ?
I hope that you are doing well today.
I wanted to also ask- have you determined and set forth any boundaries for your husband to hold him accountable for his actions and to protect yourself?
