Summary

We talk about what it looks like when a betrayed spouse sees the need for healing but their addicted spouse isn't willing to work for freedom. We give encouragement and steps for the betrayed spouse on how to begin healing, and suggest some things they should avoid when trying to initiate change in their marriage, family, and home. We also talk through available resources for betrayed spouses.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Pure Desire podcast, where we partner with you to bring hope and freedom on your journey to purity.
0:16.1	Hey there, I'm your host, Trevor Windsor, and we're so thankful you're taking time out of your day to hang out with us.
0:26.1	I am here, as always, with my co-host, Nick Stumbo. It's good to be here. Yeah, and then we also have with us, Ashley Jamison, who is again on an episode with us. Thanks for being here, Ash. I'm glad to be here again.
0:31.4	Awesome. So I don't know if you guys know this, but we're glad to have Ashley on the podcast because she lives all the way in Idaho. So it's always a treat when we have her in person and we can do this. So it's pretty cool.
0:41.4	I just want people to know how important you are and how, you know, significant it is that we
0:45.0	actually get to have you on the podcast. So I think you should say that again. Oh, okay.

1:15.7	questions. So maybe less jokes. And, you know, we're not trying to make light of this today.
1:21.7	Because this is a serious episode and we want people to know that this is a serious thing and that we

1:27.9	them. Yeah, we have a real variety of listeners that tune in and we appreciate that sometimes it's
1:33.1	spouses, sometimes it's people struggling with addiction, sometimes it's just a group member,
1:37.1	wanting to understand the process better. But I'm guessing on this episode, we have more people
1:42.0	tuning in that are in that tough place and so we just
1:44.8	want to be aware that this can be a real lifeline to you as you try to process what do I do when I'm
1:51.3	hurt I'm wounded I'm getting fed up maybe even you're feeling done and and the spouse is still
1:56.8	stuck in that pattern of denial and minimizing or rationalizing their behavior.
