You admit that you’ve made mistakes, and you admit that you want to be a better person; now start doing it!
If you truly have given your marriage “to God,” then you wouldn’t be so hung up on this other man. He’s allowed to have friends, isn’t he? These other women who are struggling in their sobriety are allowed to have friends, right? You can’t control what they do or think, you have control over one person and one person only- and that is YOU. Put your focus and energy on improving yourself and stop worrying about other people.
