		<description>Something that may be obvious to those of us wounded spouses may NOT be so obvious to the cheating spouse... that would be that he is to cut all ties to friends in his workplace, who afforded him time, and covered up, and lied for him, etc during this time of affairs. 

Yes, I said affairs, multiple, over the last 11yrs, and who knows if it&#039;s going on now.  He won&#039;t admit to anything even with the proof I have.  He has just gotten better at hiding.  

We are separated, of course it&#039;s all my fault..etc etc.. never mind that he is a cheating pile of garbage. He wants to do things with me, like normal people, but has yet to bring up the topic of our relationship.  I&#039;m waiting to see when/if that will happen.  Perhaps he believes that time will make me forget?  He should know better, after 24 years of marriage.

In the mean time, his friend (another man he works with) has been his sidekick and mole in the entire situation.  The man even called the woman to tell her.. and I quote.. &quot;Don&#039;t come to the office, his wife is here, sorry, she just showed up out of the blue&quot;.  I want him to cut ties with that man as well as the mistress.  He should cut ties with anyone who was supportive of the situation or helped him hide it. 

It sickens me to see that friend, and the fact that he can look me in the face and say hello to me.  Unbelievable!</description>

		<description>Thanks for the post. This is a real issue and needs to be addressed. Thousands of couples have restored their relationships after an affair because they found the right information. You have provided great content and real answers for those who are in pain. Thanks again.

		<description>I agree Jason.. Porn was the root of my problem and like any addiction, its progressive.  For total healing, we&#039;ve got to kill the root, the deepest part of ourselves thats trying to somehow fill an empty void.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your post.  I have been using your blog in addition to Jenni, Sarah Markley and Cindy Beall&#039;s blogs and trusting God in my restoration process.  After 23 years of marriage my wife recently had a 1 year affair (we are both Christians).  I have forgiven her and we are seeking restoration of our marriage. The 6 things you mention are all critical in the restoration process.  Two months into the affair I felt in my heart that something was wrong. Every time I confronted her with evidence, my wife would somehow have an explanation.  Eventually, I found a cell phone that they were using to communicate with and at this point she could not deny the affair anymore.  This was 6 months into the affair.  Although she told me that it was over she still had not surrendered to repented to God, she had not cut ties, she didn&#039;t want to be accountable to no one, although we went to counseling she lied to me and the counselors that the affair was over, she didn&#039;t come clean, she wasn&#039;t willing to do whatever it took to restore the marraige.  

She made me move out as if I had been the one to do something wrong.  She asked me to move back and stated that she was willing to work on our marriage.  We celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary and 2 week after this she asked me to move out again.  She filed for divorce which completly devestated me.  I lost 50 lbs, had to rely on sleeping medication for sleep, was prescribed anti-depresents and even attempted suicide.  Even with all of this, my wife telling me the divorce was not about another man, she was continuely involved in the affair. It wasn&#039;t until I walked in on them in our bedroom that she couldn&#039;t deny her involvement, lies and deception.  I still do not know if she has told me the truth as the deception continued for 7 months.  When she had filed for divorce she was going out to clubs and was communicating with males she would meet.  I know God can restore my marriage but the trauma, lies and deception is at times to much.  I know I have forgiven her, however, she really has never asked for forgivness. She also countinues to communicate with a female friend that helped her maintain the affair from me.  I have protected her and have not disclosed her affair to her family and mine.  She does not want any one to know.  Please pray for comlete restoration of my marriage.</description>
