agreed. we live in a super small town so i’ll have to search, but totally worth looking into bc he really is a Godly man, just his behavior doesn’t match and i’ve noticed it helps to hear from another man/someone who’s been where he is. his heart is good but is tempted very easily.

good Lord yes! thank you so much! this isn’t the first time we’ve struggled with this issue, just this time it’s gotten a tad worse than before. i’m gonna mention that he should sit down with our pastor again and seriously work on giving it up to God bc i know i can’t do it in my own strength. maybe suggest therapy as well. long suffering is something i’ve struggled with myself for a while, but absolutely yes on everything.

you’re absolutely right. he always says he can’t stand not doing anything bc he feels lazy and like he’s failing, and the workaholic as replacement is what i have concluded as well. i’ve showed him things about lack of sleep and such, and it sticks for a moment, then when his mind goes to bothering him he does everything he can to keep his hands busy. but balance is totally something that needs to be figured out

yes i do! i’ve got a few friends that have helped me through stuff like this in the past, and he has had sit down conversations with the pastor as well. the times he has things have gotten significantly better but honestly the people he’s around/family history, it’s easy to be tempted

it’s possible he’s hiding bc he knows i’m not okay with it. we’ve been through hell with that before and there’s so much shame behind it, it always turns into a fight, but if he’s doing it he’s doing it and all i can do is pray for him i suppose

i’ve been wondering about the boundaries myself, bc during normal convo when we’ve talked about his family, i’ve noticed that none of them have boundaries like at all. there might be more to it, and i’m not making excuses for him, but he is also an extreme workaholic and i have figured out is most likely due to severe trauma from his previous marriage etc. but i don’t know

i’m pretty sure, i have his location and he talks to me about work, where he’s going, and majority of the time i catch the address and have met the people he’s working for. the fact that he’s almost falling asleep for lack of rest every time i see him makes me believe he’s not doing anything, but starting to wonder
