Dooby,
Yes, it is hard. But nothing is too hard for Hashem.
Easy for Hashem, but hard for those of "us" who want to change ( for the better).
. So keep turning the fight over to Him.
Regarding the relationship, I went through a similar falling out with my wife a few years ago.
We went through a similar time a year ago, then I faltered again so my wife's tolerance is on the wane. We are together, but the relations are cordial but it's like standing on ground zero. It took a while, but B"H our relationship is stronger than ever now. Do your part by recovering and the rest will fall into place. Obsessing over what we've done to our spouses, or that they don't love us anymore, or pushing for closeness -- none of these are helpful.
Like Doc says above, the guilt and feeling sorry for yourself is coming from the Y"H. He wants you to give it all up and have a porn party with him. He's terrified you will succeed. Something very positive is happening in your life. You've started recovery.
Just like you're keeping away from lust one day at a time, you also need to give the relationship space one day at a time. "Being divorced is miserable and your wife knows it. The devil we know is usually better than the devil we don't".
Agreed! I don't want to go there. We have seen several friends in the last couple of years who divorsed after years of marriage.
Daven for your sobriety and daven for the relationship.
Crying is a great time to daven.
The gates of tears are never closed.
A gut chodesh,
Alex
Shabbat Shalom!
