Need prayers for My Marriage

by Samuel

My husband had an affair with his close friend before we were married. For reasons I do not know, he kept on being friends with her even after we were married.

Sshe is separated from her husband and has a son too.

He always told me she was his best buddy and I trusted him. In about a few months, I realized there was more to her than just friendship. My husband spent more time thinking of her worries,etc. She used to spend every weekend in our house after we got married.

I was confused, hurt, but my husband just kept assuring me that he was just helping her as a christian friend. She's a hindu.

Through all this I was trying to be a good friend to her, putting up with so much emotional turmoil. She used to constantly pick fights with my husband for no reason at all.

I started getting enough suspicion, lost trust in my husband so started to dig for some light on their relationship. Now, its 1.10 months of our marriage, I've found her naked pics on his laptop.

He confessed to it. My heart is broken. I feel betrayed, he lied to me innumerable times when I asked him for the truth.

We've moved to a different state & he has no contact w/her. He says he loves me, and begged for my forgiveness.

I told him I'm trying. Everything I look back on is only hurt in the short span of our marriage. I find it terribly hard to trust him. He's hurt seeing me broken & down. I've failed in the exams i wrote for my certification to be a doctor. I cannot concentrate on anything.!! We're heading towards our 2nd anniversary- and all I feel is hurt.

Our marriage needs help.
