Hi, everyone. I need your help and advice as I progress down the road of recovery. I am 28 and have been married for about 5 years, I have struggled with porn addiction and have cheated on a few occasions in emotionless one time encounters. These were basically anonymous encounters that did not involve vaginal sex, once a bj and the other few times a hj (cheating none the less). As I have matured I’m realizing that I’m living for so much more and no longer want to be burdened by this guilt and sorrow. Recently I prayed and asked for god to save and forgive me of my sins. I have been working hard to beat this addiction and read scripture. I read various things about if I should tell my wife or not. I never plan on going down this road again and the acts were emotionless and I believe fueled by the issues I was having with porn. I’m working hard on my marriage, but I still wonder if I should tell her. I’m not sure of the benefit. What would you all recommend, I read so many various opinions on whether to tell or not. I truly believe God has worked in my life and made me a changed man. I plan on working hard to keep this up, just not sure if I should leave this in the past. I read that I am freed from my past sins and to not be burdened by them. What is your all’s opinions? Thank you

@savedandhealing intellect and opinion cannot help you here, neither debating doctrinal positions. Scriptures define an appointed time "kairos" in greek. May God guide you as to when that is.

@Gav5 can you elaborate on what you mean about the appointed time? And I agree, I have gotten so many differing opinions it has made my head spin! I will need to bathe this in prayer.

@savedandhealing When Jesus said things like "my time is not yet come" e.g. John 7:6-8 it refers to a specific moment in time when He was to be crucified.

Widom is to know when each action is to be taken my brother. Pray the LORD for wisdom... He will give it to you and guide you on you way. Be blessed in Jesus name. Amen.

I’d like to elaborate on this shameful event some more. It was a happy ending massage and it occurred before I was saved. I’m not trying to justify anything, but does it change anything? I have since left these wicked ways in the past.
