Sometimes a bit of inconvenience isn't so bad if it keeps you from sinning...remember Jesus was inconvenienced too when He died on the cross to save our lives...and He didn't mind :)

luv ya
Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard He loves you? If not, I'd like to introduce you.

How much is your wife worth to you?

Is she worth the slower computer?

Perhaps she's worth getting rid of the computer all together. ;)

What are you willing to give up for her?

Every sacrifice has a cost.

Praying for you.
*angel7* Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up! Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us.

hello,

thought, i'd let you know that you're doing great. all good things are worth the fight, so i have to commend you for trying.

have you considered talking to your wife about this? it's better if you're on the level than she finds out on her own. that does make things more difficult. does she know that you're in a support group for this.

i'm just asking cause, i am one who was willing to give and take to find solutions for this particular challenge. it was hard on me to stumble across the kids dad looking at the stuff just because, i would have preferred honesty from the jump. i can deal with the honesty. even if it's hard. the stuff that's hidden, that makes me more suspicious.

anyways, that's my 2cents. i do wish you well and will pray. be blessed for you and your family.

Two good days! Another one on the way. Got the blocker installed, and the computer is working just fine. And, I have a lot more peace of mind about everything.
I have considered telling my wife, but honestly, I think it would do way more harm than good right now, for a lot of reasons. So, for now, I'm opting not to say anything about it.
Thanks again for all your prayers!

Awww you don't have to handle those other issues yourself...You've got a friend in Jesus and He will take those issues...one at a time...He loves you and He will help you through them...step by step...even if it's baby steps at first.

luv ya

Yeah, I know :) But then, I wouldn't be in control. My biggest problem, I guess, is resentments. Even in my wonderful marriage, I find myself having little resentments over stuff that doesn't amount to anything.
Ah well, I will just keep praying and posting, I guess. :)
