I wanted to ask for some advice from other married Christians. I have been married for 8 years to my husband who I love very much. We have two children together. About two years ago he dropped a bomb on me and told me he had been unfaithful to me before we got married with multiple women. After we got married he admits to being to flirty and doing some inappropriate texting but nothing more. We went through marriage counseling and rebuilt our marriage. We started going back to church and he got very involved it church. Overtime I felt pushed aside and came to find out he was hiding an emotional relationship with another women he met at church. It became very obvious she wanted to come between our marriage and he spent about two weeks contemplating leaving me for her. Ultimately he didn't and all contact with her has been cut. I am feeling so lost at this point, I feel like this is a pattern for him to form these relationships with other women and have a gross neglect for my feelings. He says he's sorry and he loves me but is this really a situation that can be saved?

My husband and I have been married for 12 years. Shortly after we were married I found inappropriate content on our computer. It devastated me. I felt betrayed. It turns out he had been viewing inappropriate content for many years prior. This happened a few times throughout the years but now he doesn't do it at all. What it came down to was that his sin was between he and the Lord. The Lord dealt with him apparently because he doesn't do that anymore. I think this is an issue with your husband and probably has little to do with you. Pray for him.

If your husband is asking for forgiveness....

Matthew 18
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

He does want forgiveness, I just worry once the trust is broken so many times can it truely be rebuilt? Thank for your story, it gives me hope. We are trying to set up counseling too.

Yes, it can be restored. I had to just decide to trust him, period, and never treat him like I don't trust him, no matter what he does. Ultimately, I'm just trusting in God. There is hope!
