Drugs can turn people into MONSTERS. Like you, I am closely acquainted with this fact. I have friends who have adopted foster children.... The hell that those kids endured as victims of drug-addicted parents is unimaginable.

As for porn, I have seen marriages destroyed. And I know of at least one man who always tried to be a good and decent husband, father, church member and community leader, but was addicted to online porn. He committed suicide because of the crushing guilt he felt at leading a double life.

If anyone reading this has this problem, I beg you: Get help!!! I just did a search for "porn addiction hotline christian" and a TON of resources came up. Get help. Today.

Well said. And many women are addicted to social media, doing all kinds of crazy things for likes. Many of them are still on dating sites after being married just for the validation, or to keep their options open. About 60% of married women admit to having a "Plan B" or back up man if things get bad.

Janos - Plan B's aren't all bad. About 95% of Americans don't even have a Plan A, so they're already screwed.

About 4% have a Plan A, so they're on the right track.

It's the 1% that have a Plan B, that'll come out the other side, knowing full well, that something always goes awry with Plan A.

Those women are just covering their downside risk. Problem is that a lot of one-time losers - men or women - end up becoming two-time losers. It's a pattern.

Plan A will definitely go awry if you have a Plan B. That’s not a marriage, it's a "situationship," as the kids say. That’s no way to live.

And if wifey meets a better man online, she'll start talking with him. If it all checks out, she'll replace her husband and blame him for it. Such is the feminine nature which you adore.
