Advice

I am thinking of leaving my husband. We are both Catholic, but he never goes to church with me and the children. He spends the majority of his free time playing games on the computer and looking at nude women/pornography on the Internet. I am at the end of my rope. I'm worried about the impact on our two children--I'm trying my best to bring them up with moral, Christian values. This is our third time at counselling.

For now I'd do my best to stay in counselling. Get an understanding on how you didn't know much about this man before you married him. Make sure you don't have any more children by this man until you settle in your own mind if he is the one who will be raising your children. It is good to remember that pornography is an addiction and he may need more help to overcome it than he is willing to admit right now. Sometimes couples don't begin to get what it takes to put the marriage back together until they have been in a year's worth of sessions; so hang in there. Read as much as you can on codependency and what it is like to live with an addict. I'm surprised that there are no Computer Wives (Widows) Anonymous support groups. As long as he is going to counselling with you, my advice is to hang in there. Keep praying and get others to pray for you. Let me know how it is going.
