    #45 - Is Arguing Good in Recovery After Cheating has Occurred?

    Ask Us a Question! In this episode, Eileen and David tackle the difficult subject of how we handle arguments in recovery. Is it good to have them and what form can they take? Ultimately, they work to break down several ways this can work to end the relationship if the betrayer reverts to self-protective ways instead of viewing his hurt partners attempts as connection rather than attacks. In the end, we are seeking connection. And connection is hard to find through arguing. But David and Eileen offer what may be a better perspective shift - connection in conflict rather than arguing. ⛓️‍💥  Try the Ever Accountable App and save 20% with Hope Beyond Betrayal →https://everaccountable.com/hopebeyondbetrayal/ Welcome to a raw, honest, and hope-filled podcast where we share our journey of healing after the devastation of porn addiction and infidelity.

Now his wife doesn't believe him and won't speak to elders at the church because she feels they will just encourage her to go back to him. He knows he has done wrong, but is afraid of her abandoning him. If he has repented of his wrongs, how can he get her to see that? David and Eileen discuss the reasons why his wife is right to be wary of the desire for him and the church to just "put things back" because it is here the addiction can grow further. They also discuss what true repentance looks like: REVIEWING of ones actions FEELING contrition for wrongdoing COMMITTING to change Have a question you want answered on the podcast?
