So, after the scary and gut-wrenching experience yesterday, I finally got a hold of the Bishop and went in to talk to him. We talked a lot about what had happened that day, why I felt it was happening, and what could be done. Why I Felt My Wife Was Holding the Pain This is […]

The Worst Feeling of My Life
I just walked home from Church. I just left Sunday School in the middle of the meeting. The meeting was about David cheating on his wife. B has been having a hard time yesterday and today and I was uneasy anyway. She made a couple comments, but I was nervous she was going to say […]
A Good Talk, Then a Terrible One
Yesterday B and I went on a date and were going to go to the temple to do initiatories. Unfortunately, when we got there, B realized she had her recommend in another bag so we couldn’t go. We went to Pizzaria 712 then and had a good dinner. Afterward, we headed to Macey’s to get […]
How to Control Lustful Tendencies
The title is my question today. I’ve felt tempted to look at women today. I’m not sure if that is classified as lust, but I feel it is so I wanted to study gospel principles to help in this area. Here’s what I found from LDS.org. …“spirit over body.” That is self-mastery. Remarkable as your […]
We Believe in Being Chaste
I had the chance yesterday, in my driving back and forth to Bountiful to pick up the van, to listen to the talk by Elder Bednar titled, “We Believe in Being Chaste“. Like all of Elder Bednar’s talks, it’s a very well thought out and detailed talk. Every sentence seems to be full of deep […]
What does it mean to bridle your passions?
I’m going to study today about bridling passions: I feel that is something I really need to think about, ponder upon, and consider when submitting my will to God. Bridle is defined as: “To control or restrain with or as if with a bridle. See Synonyms at restrain.” and “to restrain, check, or control with […]
A Helpful Talk
Yesterday was a tough day. But last night cleared things up a lot and overall I’d say the day ended on a positive note. B and I talked last night after the tough letter she’d written me. I was pretty shaken by it – felt really sad, felt really misunderstood, and felt little hope. However, […]
The Up’s and Down’s of My Bad Choices
Yesterday seemed to be a really good day. We had a good talk the night before, we had a good talk yesterday morning, and during the day things seemed to go pretty well. This morning, I got up at 7:00 to play tennis with Adam. I came back at 8:00 to find B in the […]
The Power of Honesty in Recovery
In the Orem program I went to yesterday with B, we are starting on Step 1 – Honesty. It was a short meeting for the group I was with but I felt the Spirit and it went really well. After the meeting B and I had a good talk, a hard talk again, but a […]
Do I Need to Talk to the Church Disciplinary Council?
Things have been tough still with B and I. She’s quite depressed and sad, mad, and fearful that I will repeat my mistakes. I am trying to understand and empathize; I’m trying to be patient and delicate with her feelings. The mistakes I made were so heart-breaking to her – I do feel I understand […]
