Lostman,

You're making great progress. You might see her go crazy and not want any transparency - like my WW did. W/O transparency, the marriage is doomed. Think of a 12 step program like AA. She's got to think the effort, the weeks of withdrawl from OM is worth it. You're making it worth it on your end, but she needs to go cold turkey, and make it through the worst of it. Going to a therapist by herself is something she should consider. White-knuckling it, with a OM nearby, can only lead to more longing. It did in my case. My WW has unresolved issues from her past.

I did, too, BTW. Going to counseling for porn addiction. Took the EA/PA, and the BD to figure out I had a problem, and it contributed to the whole mess. You're a good man for getting help, and getting yourself into a position to be the best Lostman a woman has ever seen. THAT, as well as a wife who wants to do lots of work on herself and the R, will make your marriage so strong this will never happen again. You can do it!
