| Addiction to porn and masterbation | Kevin | Thursday, February 10, 2005 |
Question: I am addicted to both porn and masterbating. I am married and my wife does not know of my addiction. I really want to get help for my addictions, but I am scared to tell my wife. My wife is very against both of these and she feels if I do either that I am cheating on her. I have two fears about telling my wife. 1) She will leave me and/or 2) She will tell her family and friends about my addiction (she can't keep a secret!). I know I have sinned for a long time and I am ready to start living my life the way Jesus taught us. What can I do?? |
