    “The Recovery Library gave me 24/7 support because I could be up at 3am and search for the topic I was struggling with. It also helped as a couple because we could investigate topics together so it wasn’t subjective. I trusted this information because it was from professionals who also had lived through and recovered from infidelity. Double credibility in my book.”

    Doesn’t matter what side of the fence your on... this was spot on. The Key to Intimacy are the uncomfortable conversations that we don’t run away from - ❤️ loved that !
    Thank you .

    This is so spot on. Married 10 years, betrayed 10 years, and after 28 months trying to recover, I had to let go. His "willingness" to recover isn't there: he loves his family so much he won't get to this part of recovery. I hope this helps those who truly wish to become healthy; thank you for all you do, both AR and Thomas 💗
    I am focusing on me, feeling stronger every day. I pray for my husband daily, but my prayer now is for his safety and peace, no longer that he'll "get it". I wish him healing

      I am in the same place, also at 28 months. My husband still can’t even tell me the entire truth. I need to follow your lead. I’m sending good energy and thoughts your way- and I will think about you and your healing.

    What a POWERFUL message!!!! Thank you thank you. Healing isn’t about blame- each other or our parents- once self awareness is faced and survived- it’s a powerful to find the issue and just learn how to move on. Thanks again.

    Starts in discomfort is true. I know this well. Knowledge only goes so far. It takes working steps for myself to get well, detachment with love and prayer that there is a chance of recovery. Thank you 12 step programs and AR for hope of recovery. Another great blog here!

    I loved this! Thank you for putting this together. I am wondering why the unfaithful or the addicts pretend they can be in and open up in relationships such as marriage? Why are they willing to hurt someone that they know loves them with all their heart when they know they will never open up to their spouse?

      they just aren't that present with themselves. usually they haven't done the work to even know that or realize that and they live in denial. or they push it down so that they don't have to face that reality. every situation is different my friend, but an expert or expert program can help you and or him: www.affairrecovery.com/programs-and-courses/online-courses www.affairrecovery.com/product/ems-weekend

      @@samshealingpodcast It comes from childhood, core beliefs, and time traveling. Addicts are emotional cripples and are afraid if they become transparent they will be hurt as they were in childhood when they opened up so they shut down as a survival mechanism they used in childhood.

      They aren’t pretending. They simply don’t know how! They don’t know what they don’t know…like many humans.
      They don’t know what a committed, healthy, relationship looks like, or takes. They might “want” to show up, but they don’t know all the pieces of the puzzle that make it work.
      They didn’t have the modeling, attunement, and have an insecure attachment style.
      Due to all of that, they don’t have good emotional intelligence (self awareness is one aspect of that).
      They often are in an unrealized, subconscious, autonomic nervous system activation. Most are in fight/flight/freeze/fawn, as a result. That ongoing survival mode doesn’t allow for higher cognitive realms, considering risk, consequences, what others are experiencing…very easily.
      If you look at the neuroscience and psychology, it’s so much easier to take less personally.
      What’s even more eye opening is when we realize we didn’t see indications, red flags, due to our own early attachment psychic wounding. We often have blind spots due to our own insecure attachment style.
      So, we have our own healing to do. When we didn’t learn our own needs, that we could have boundaries, and how to communicate them clearly, and navigate conflict confidently…we often don’t see early indicators of other’s woundedness.
      If we dismiss ourselves, invalidate our own needs…we likely are attracted to, tolerate, a partner who does the same. Often we aren’t even aware we are doing this. Listen to your automatic internal dialogue…is it anything like your spouses? Time to rewrite that dialogue, have your own back, know your infinite worth.

    I don't think it's true that the unfaithful was never the priority. I think that they most definitely were not the priority at the time of the affair. But I don't believe what he said that they were NEVER the priority. I know my husband was always my priority, but I did lose sight of that at certain points throughout the relationship.

      find an expert therapist and start to do work in that area with that therapist. i would also ask that same professional for books you can read and other resources they would recommend. make sure they are an expert though.

      @@samshealingpodcast We are guided by many manufactures and imagined fears created by intrusive childhood messages. Allowing other professional or trusted friends can help us decipher the real fears from the false so we don't allow those imagined fears to guide our behaviors.
