Beloved of All
2 days after Christmas, my beautiful wife of 6 short months sent me a series of text messages that showed screen captures of a sexual conversation between me and a woman 2000 miles away. The woman is a distant friend in high school who I used to talk to online often prior to meeting my wife. After 3 months of marriage, this woman sent a congratulatory message to me and within a week I had allowed my sin to resurface and I was engaged with this woman in inappropriate conversation. I do not wish to try to make myself sound better by saying this, but there is no relationship possibility or even desire with this woman. My wife asked me to move out of the house. In the past two weeks, I have been seeking guidance from the priest who married us, a social worker, the scriptures, xxxchurch.com, and a few close friends. I am working on some issues from my past, including abuse, that I did not realize were impacting my life. I know I must fix myself to be a better husband and man and Christian. However, not having my wife at my side while I do try to work through this difficult time is a terrible feeling. She has stated she is not ready to talk to me yet. I feel like I have no support system. I am asking today for prayers to begin the healing of my beautiful wife first and foremost. She has been hurt terribly by my actions and I need for her heart to be healed. I am also asking for prayer for my continued work to better myself and become a better Christian, better husband, and better man. Finally, I would like a prayer for our marriage--that it is not over, but rather can be strengthened by this awful situation that I have caused
