Hello,
Am starting this posting in need of some advice and support.
Several years ago when my porn addiction was at its peak I was so deep in the gutter that I was also suffering with mental illness all of which I now know was most likely linked.
During this time I was in the first couple years of my marriage to my wife and I regretablly did some things I regret even to this day, I acted out with Escorts and had a casual encounter with a local girl (Oral Sex). It took my wife as you would expect a long time to forgive me however we eventually got there and through other life hurdles thanks to our Faith in God and most of all each other.
Now this was about 7 years ago now - so whats the problem now then?
Last weekend we moved into a brand new house on a new housing estate. We had a small event on our housing estate - Christmas Carols around the Christmas tree. We got chatting to this couple there who live opposite our house. Now tonight I have been on the Facebook page of our new housing estate and the lady from across the road, she is the girl I had the casual encounter with 7 years ago (I didn't recognise her the other night but the pictures on Facebook are haunting me from my past!!).
HELP!! Im unsure if she recognises me but I do recognise her, I feel very awkward and embarrassed. I don't know what to say to my wife as she wants to make friends with the neighbours etc.
Why does life do this?
