My husband wanted to seperate nearly 2 and a half years ago, I didnt know what to do, i knew what I couldnt do and that was continue drinking the way i was. SO I turned to God for help. Ive been sober since. Im holding onto hope that my marriage will be restored. Ive held on the entire time, all while getting sober. Ive had a worry of a certain femail for quite some time, even before he left. In May of this year (2 years into seperation) i learned that he in fact is in a relationship with said person. Lives with her since December. No one knows this, only the people they want to know i suppose. Not even his family. It was a secret from our children as well (m 16 f 12). We have been intimate the entire seperation. Me bc i believed him when he said there was nothing with anyone. He does not plan to tell her of us being that way as she does not know, its been so hard fighting the urge to tell her, but its not mine to fix. I pray for him all the time, for his faith in Jesus. For God to change him, soften his heart towards Jesus. For his repentance. For removal of her. I need help in prayer. Im getting tired. Help me?

I will keep you in my prayers. I may not know everything you’re going through, but I know the One who does. He is near to the brokenhearted.
I’d like to offer a suggestion — not as a command, but as something that helped me personally when I was in a dark place. If I were in your shoes, I would turn even more deeply to God through prayer, meditation, and Scripture.
Consider praying the Novena and the Rosary, especially the Divine Mercy Chaplet. It’s a powerful devotion that brings peace to the soul: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/pray-the-chaplet
(I’m Catholic/Orthodox, so these are part of my tradition.)
If you’re able, you might also consider living a life more devoted to God — not as a way of escaping pain, but of finding deeper meaning in it. Sometimes, when the world exhausts us, it’s because we’re clinging to things that no longer serve our soul. Christ calls us to lay our burdens on Him, and He will carry them (Matthew 11:28–30). He is the Good Shepherd.
Again, this is just a suggestion. Everyone is different. Some are called to a more ascetic life; some are not. You know your heart — ask God for discernment.
Whatever you choose, keep praying. Keep seeking Him. You’re not alone.
Peace and strength in Christ,
Sam
