Theresa,
When this all first came out - it was husband that said that he would go to counceling if I wanted to. At that time we were in another state and we called our pastor. He was very helpfull in getting us started but was not a regular marriage counceler. We moved shortly after - then the new jobs, the new baby- I don't even have the time to look up a good counceler much less go to one. I do however, I some time at work (I work graveyard shifts) to get on the internet. I want you to know that this is helping a lot. Just to know that I am not alone and it does get better. If we ever find the time - I think it would be good to get some sort of counceling. I just don't know when or where. I don't have any family here so finding sitters for my daughter is hard and I wouldn't want to take her along. If we ever get our computer e-mail hooked up at home I think it would do him some good to surf the net and talk to a few people too.
Today he was very down again. He is having trouble at work. He took on managing store that was not doing so good. He was told in the beginning that if he could not turn it around in 6 months that they would shut it down. Well is 6 months are us and he has turned it around but apparently not good enough. Today they told him that unless something happens soon they were going to shut it down. This scares me a little because the times that he has cheated in the past have been when he was having major problem with work and he was feeling depressed. He would go drink a few, get worse, and then - well you know the rest. I guess this will be the true test if he breaks the pattern this time. Keep praying and I will try to get him someone to talk to also.
Hey how are you doing. You are always encouraging everyone else. You think you might need a little yourself?
