Ask a Therapist Series: Should I Stay or Should I Go? [2.9]
Description
If you are dating someone that is currently struggling with pornography but is taking the steps to recover, is there hope? Should I stay in the relationship? Should I run? If we were to get married, is this something that can be overcome or will I have to deal with this in the future forever? Listen to learn some principles to navigate these tough questions. Only you can know what is best for you. This episode will help you know how to move forward whether you are the person struggling with pornography or the person in a relationship with someone struggling with pornography.
