I am wondering if there is something missing in this man's request for help. He refers to "betrayed wives" and a "double life." I realize these terms are often (and correctly) used for substance abuse and covering it up.. However, I am wondering if there was also an issue of sexual infidelity. The wife's continued unyielding response would make more sense if this is the case. If so, that kind of betrayal takes a long time to heal. If not, I hope, in light of the man's recovery, she will be able to trust him again.
