I am a 43yr old may who has been married for a while with a p/m problem for 30 yrs. I told my wife once and got no support from her in recovery.
My advice to you is to look to unravel your addiction causes and how it helps you cope with life. My p/m addiction has been as frequent as a dozen times a day and spent many years struggling to make a week of sobriety. Marriage did not cure the problem. In fact I preferred p/m to wife. I was unable to really make any progress with my problem until I started to unravel my problems through the help of a talk I heard on the subject (see link below) which is so good it has become my text book for recovery. I have discovered through this talk as I try to follow it that recovery is so much more than just measuring days of sobriety. Good luck and I hope you will watch the talk!
