Brian (and Jenni), you are helping me understand and see this from my husband’s perspective. It was important for me to see that, and to see that there are men out there willing and capable of accepting responsibility. That’s beautiful, absolutely gobsmackingly beautiful.

My heart breaks for my husband, it really does. It is my prayer (and I pray it will be your prayer for me as well) that my husband will learn to be a better husband through this experience too, that his eyes will be opened to his role as a husband as yours were, with amazing, God-breathed results. I love him, and I want better for our marriage. I have hope.

I am proud of both of you.

First blog comment here, Jenni…

and could you tell Brian for me …

I’m there where you when you said:

rely ever pursued Jenni.
I avoided anything that felt like conflict with her.
I never attempted heart felt communication with her.
I was not jealous enough as a husband and best friend to seek her full attention

Right now I have no idea how to pursue my wife.
Right now, I practice conflict AVOIDANCE rather than conflict RESOLUTION
Right now, I don’t even know if I’ve ever really had a heart to heart with her
And right now I don’t know what it means to be jealous enough to seek her full attention?

So, Brian… (Sorry for using ur comments section like this Jenni, and for my first comment, too) I could use some advice.

Thanks!

alece,

I just got done reading the last couple posts on your blog. It helped me understand where you are coming from.

I am very sorry for what you have been through. It is pretty amazing that you are sharing this so openly as it must have been really difficult to do. If Jenni had chosen to leave me, I don’t know that I would be handling this as well as I am now. Doubtful that I would be able to forgive this quickly. May God continue to fill you with his Grace for Niel and continue to strengthen you as you heal.

Blessings!
