Last night I felt my world crumble. I found out that my husband has been seeing an escort and paying her to pleasure him for the past 2 years. They have not had intercourse, but I feel like that doesn't matter, in Gods eyes it is still Adultery. We have been married for 11 years and have a 7 year old wonderful son. We are both Christian, I have seen him struggle with his faith and have prayed for him. I hope and pray that God will mend our marriage. He keeps telling me that he is sorry, but I feel that the only reason he is sorry is because he got caught. I honestly feel that God had a hand in me finding out. It just so happened that his e-mail popped up on his phone that was lying on the dresser, I picked it up and looked at it, then continued reading. I felt sick, numb, my head was spinning and is still spinning, I could not believe what I was reading and that he would write to meet with another woman, not only meet with her but pay her. We recently just purchased a home and money is tight, I just can’t understand. He walked in while I was reading and tried to deny what was right in front of him. I would never take him for someone to lie and hurt me like this. He never goes a day without telling me how beautiful I am to him or how much he loves me. The devil, I know is whispering thoughts in to his ear, to make him stray. But, I know everyone has a choice, he had a choice to not do this. I am so lost right now. Yesterday before this happened I thanked God for everything He has given me, I didn't ask for anything, I just thanked Him. I can't even find the words to pray right now, I feel numb and beaten down.

Dear Lissy, sometimes when I felt so low I couldn't find the words to pray, I would only say jesus jesus jesus over and over again, because i knew he would hear my cry and know how deep was my pain. you feel horrible now, in shock, and probably like you yourself have been defiled. when the initial shock wears off, you should push your husband into seeking counseling, either with you or by himself. There's obviously something deeper going on here with him but that doesn't mean it can't be worked through and healed. I pray that God helps you both put your marriage back to a healthy whole. Don't give up, the great physician can heal anything. Blessings.

hey Lissy just dont get failed.When Jesus is with you then who can turn against you. Its just a bad phase and I understand your situation pretty well. But trust me this is the time for more prayers and less worries. I know its difficult to forget and forgive but if your heart says that your husband will never ever repeat it then please try to forget and try to forgive just like Jesus forgives all our sins. Your husband will need you in this worst circumstances, stand beside him and give him your moral support and love and prayers. This will definitely make him realize what he has done to you and trust me he will never forget your importance. Take him to Jesus and let him pray. Give him some space instead of forcing your emotions on him. He is matured enough to understand good and bad. God is with You always.

Lissy,
Keep your eyes on Jesus...
Remember David in the Bible?
He messed up so many times.
Thank God the Bible isn't all about
perfect people...it's about people
like ourselves. Yet, God called David
a man after His own heart.
Yes, we wonder why or how bad things
can happen to us...Yet, always look to Jesus,
and remember, no matter what...
God has a plan...
God bless you Sister.
Fear not. God is with you.
God has a plan!

Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. God bless you all! I prayed with my husband last night and I will again tonight, and the night after......... I haven't felt more comforted by the Lord. I needed the reminders to trust in the Lord. To call upon Jesus to hear my cries. I do beleive things like this happen so that God can rearrange our lives to make it the way HE has planned. I prayed to have the right words to say. He is very remorseful and going to seek counseling. We are all full of sin, I know. I will forgive my husband. I want him to forgive himself too. I know this is going to take time and we are just going to have to take it day by day. It's already brought us closer to the Lord.

After you get over the shock of it you then need to think about how to heal this marriage. It's not the act of cheating it s the after burn that will ruin the marriage! This could be a way to get even closer to your Husband and the Lord! I no it sounds crazy but he works in mysterious ways!!! You might be able to figure out what he was searching for in that relationship and what you both need in your "new relationship" cause this is a "new" relationship different from the way it was before! God will help you figure this out if you ask him and also the most hardest thing is to FORGIVE him !!!! But you must find a way to do it! May be going to your church and getting marriage consulting through the church is a good way to begin the healing processes! Ive been through this and let me just say... me and my husband have been married for 22 years....! and counting! the cheating was nt the hard part .....it was forgiving that was hard but you have to do it!!!! and not half hearted!!!! ask yourself would Jesus say "I forgive you ....but not all the way" it takes time but you can do it! and afterwards your marriage will be better than ever!!! Good luck and dont e afraid to get spiritual help!
