That is fine for her to say, but for me it stirs up my entire world and leaves me frustrated and confused. Unfortunately, due to the dynamics of the religion, this is an issue that I cannot hold out on. Just not sure what to do at this point.

Patoman, thanks for sharing. I agree with another who said you might want to treat this as an addiction. In fact, not knowing the particulars, it might be. This can be a type of sex addiction. Also, could you talk to your pastor or someone else at church about this? It won't be easy, I know. But like T's, most of them have heard it all. Hugs
