When someone says porn is not cheating.
I had a woman ask me exactly how does his porn hurt you and equate to cheating? She says, it’s not a real woman, she’s not coming to steal your husband, he won’t remember her after so what’s the problem? So I explained that all of the elements of cheating are there except one difference….there’s a screen.
Be the Man You’d Want Your Son to Be
A lot of us walk around with a ghost on our shoulder—the voice of a father who had a clear idea of who we should be. Sometimes, that voice is encouraging. More often, it’s laced with disappointment, frustration, or an impossible standard we were never going to reach in the first place.
