Well, Justin, for what it's worth…I appreciate you. Your posts this week have been hard and some of the best you've written since I've followed you but they're necessary. You're right…people don't need to go through the hell you and I have experienced in our lives to get to where you are in life.

Honestly, you're an inspiration to a guy like me who God has chosen not to bring as far back from hell as he has with you. You give me hope that my life might someday be better than the meaningless survival of the day that it is right now. I'll be joining in your prayer because I don't want anyone else to have to walk the path I've had to go down.

This posting hit me right on the head, thank you! This is "3 months before" for me because at times during this horrible time I have seriously considered having an affair of my own for revenge. I want to show my husband how much it hurts to be betrayed and deceived….yet I know that is not what Jesus would have me do.

Then I will come back to my senses and realize that Satan is trying to destroy me and my marriage even more.

Sometimes I wonder if my husband is really sorry and regrets his 2 year affair. Does he miss her? Is he bored with me? Is he telling the truth when he says it makes him sick when he sees her?

Yes, I am still filled with doubt, mistrust, and fears.

Again, thank you for your site, it is helping me to hang on and not creating a disaster of having my own 2 year affair.

I agreed with you up to the point of you saying I am desiring a form of witchcraft. Not sure I get where you are coming from or where you are going on that one. I see no Biblical reference for what you are trying to say.

Um, experience.

It often seems that the experiences that we have had which are painful are what we want to try to "save" other folks from. We know the heartache of it & want to put up huge road-blocks that say, "TURN AROUND! DANGER AHEAD!"

Often we want to do everything we can to stop it from happening to other people.

Your wife is wise. Only Jesus saves.

He may use you, your testimony, your blog, your opportunities to help someone re-think the course that they are taking, but we are not allowed to make these choices (or stop them) for other people.

If you will forgive me, tho your intentions are good, what you are desiring is a form of witchcraft – influencing the outcome of actions, behaviors, choices outside your power. That is God's place.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." – Matthew 5:4

Your heart breaks because Jesus' heart breaks. This is good news! And he will carry the weight for you.

Daniel, thank you so much for your words! It is great to know that even when you don't realize it, being faithful to what God has called you to matters. I've loved your blog as well, bro!
