The most important that you are on the right path to get rid of it. There is an act of courage that you said her about it. And the women should understand you and help you to overcome this battle. Be and support you always. Not only when you are strong and shining but also when you are depressed and sad.

Thanks everybody. I appreciate the kind words.

You’re right, the important things are to stay on track, and to give her time to take in what I’ve told her.

So I recently stopped lying to my wife about the extent of my problem. I have covered it up with so many lies, but I’m serious about changing and felt that honesty was an important step to ensure that our future relationship post my recovery is intimate and authentic. It’s caused my wife so much pain.

She’s asked me, and I have agreed, to leave the family home while she processes the fact that pmo has been such a major factor in my life and our marriage. Haven’t seen my baby daughter for 4 days and it’s breaking my heart. I constantly feel like crying.

Am holding on, but last night, sat alone in my rented room, I was so tempted. I know fapping isn’t the answer, it’s what got me here. Have to stay strong.

There is no option to return to faping. Just no. Stay strong anyway. No matter what.

Brother talk to her and convince her…Ask help to her…You should tell that their is no one who can directly help to deal with the pmo so seek her help and tell her that without you I cannot be cured…Apologies…A man is stronger but we all have feelings we should apologiez for everything to make everything better

Remember you are doing Reboot for yourself.

Thanks for your support everyone.

I’m back home now, and it’s wonderful to be back with my wife and daughter. Have put some steps in place (web blocker with accountability, and have joined an online support group).

My wife is still getting over the pain of my pmo and my deception, but the trust in our marriage has grown. We will be OK.

The honesty has really helped strengthen my resolve and helped me to eliminate my shame (which drives my pmo).

I am determined to make this time count - I’m on the longest streak I ever had. Will get to 37 days today!

Thanks bro!

I don’t regret my honesty, although maybe I should have prepared her for it better. It’s great not to have to think hard remembering everything I’ve told her jn the last or worry about disclosing my own lies.

The disclosure felt like rubbing vinegar on a cut, but for me has had a similar effect. I feel far less tempted now, I’m more proud of the man I am.

Really appreciate your support and encouragement. Stay strong. We must become masters of ourselves.
