 What is Pure Desire Testimony Testimony 8 For Men Only orientation help's participant to refocus his life: After attending an FMO orientation, I was able to talk to the leader, Harry, and for the first time ever, was able to share my pain and let the tears flow. I confessed I was using sex to medicate myself from the hurt caused by my wife’s affairs. Once I talked to Harry, I had the courage to go home and talk to my wife about everything. During that talk, she told me of her current affair, which I had suspected was going on. She told me that she was no longer happy, that we had no connection, that she didn’t want to work on anything and hinted that she wanted out. This, along with her current behavior of being dishonest about who she was with and talking to on the phone, her rejection of both our couples’ counseling and her individual counseling, her walking away from the church, the constant guarding of her phone and the defensiveness when confronted about these things, led me to believe that there was little hope for us. That night we decided we should end our marriage and go our separate ways. The pain of the past as well as the constant anxiety and depression of the present has been intense. But, in the process, my FMO group has been my life line. One of the things I’ve realized since starting is that my addiction prevented me from truly dealing with the issues in our marriage. Unfortunately, the only thing I can do now is move on knowing that I could have done things differently. It has cost me a lot to get to the point where I am now. But I want to thank Harry for listening to me that night. It was the first step towards healing for me. Alex |
